Darn, but that was one very poetic image.  I can almost see it now.

Well, nothing comes immediately to mind.  I guess the main question
would be whether or not the politicians should occasionally be let out
to play.  After all, without all their personal and professional
shenanigans as raw grist for the media mill, whatever would the
Military Entertainment Complex use for entertaining story ideas?


I'll end with my standard apology for not writing more quickly but, if
nothing else, this reply will assure you that your message was
propagated.  (My routing is different, but it also made it to the mail
hub feeding Paul and I was sorta expecting to see a witty reply.  Of
course, I'm not going to the one to talk about anymoose taking a long
time to kick out a reply.)
