LOL Not to put too fine a point on it, but well done Azred ;)

And given that about 30 million Americans regularly watch various evening news programs, and since this is the top story on all of them for the past few days, probably about 20 million (short attention span) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Is the country going to split?

Not Estonia though. We did have a precipitous change of leadership from democracy to dictatorship in 1934 when we got ourselves an evil president, but the people won't repeat the same mistake. :D Must be the Finnish and Scandinavian influence calming us down. :D
