Tuesday, January 9. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:


"All the peace you make in
their cause is calling both the
parties knaves."*

Coriolanus, Act II, Scene 1, Lines 77-79

*For fans of Ralph Nader, please understand I hold him in the highest respect as a consumer advocate. But there is no doubt that his presence in Election 2000 and the votes he garnered ruined Gore's margin of victory in the electoral college.

And we have had six years of demonstrable proof that the two parties are NOT the same, as he alleged.

Boy, I really had to prepare for a firestorm of criticism for this one.

It may be yet to come...

3. Well, you sure won't get any argument from ME!
He really screwed over the election.........

I used to respect him for his stand on auto safety, and I still do for all that work...

But the political stuff? Nevah!
