T, when I hit this topic on "recent comments" it takes me to the
original story, not to the comment thread. As I use "recent
comments" a lot to figure what to see next, this is a bit annoying.
Is there a simple fix at your end to prevent this? I'm using
various versions, relatively current, of Internet Explorer.
Second, GWB is a clear example of what it takes to be electable in
this country -- Clinton wasn't flawless, but seems to have a lot
more character in retrospect.... Presidents _are_ figureheads,
overall. Some of them have a desire to control where the ship is
heading, but most have some trouble doing that -- herding cats
without a can-opener springs to mind as a metaphor. Anyone in an
executive position probably has less power than you think, because
of having to please various constituencies. Been there, done that,
in a minor form.
All that said, I'm as angry at Bush's comments at the UN this
morning as I've ever been at him -- so little perspective! So much
arrogance! Talking about people who kill others without any mercy,
and having no idea that that phrase might be applied to him....
Good thing I had a telephone meeting and couldn't listen to all his
remarks, or I'd be livid.
Cheers,
Tom
