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
