And, MagiK, I know that anti-Bush person made you angry, but consider the source. Did you catch Bush's U.N. speech? Absolutely brilliant. As Peggy Noonan says, the man has the knack for doing exactly what his detractors want him to do, and then shredding them. See

and

for some positive reviews

Actually Attalus, yes I know he tweaked a hot spot, and I apologized to him in a PM. He is reletively new here and I hadn't bothered to really look before I responded.
I didn't actualy hear Bush deliver the speach, I have read it and it is brilliant and I believe it was exactly right. I guess he did stumble over one particular phrase and so I have had to endure a bunch of dorks making comments on how stupid he is. Like any of them have ever addressed a large audience with a flawless delivery. Just exactly how important is being able to speak publicly with 0 defects? Or do you suppose maybe that it is the policy and the intent that is actually more important? I think some people do prefer flash over substance. Anyhoooo I need to get some work done thn come back and speak to K.T. and his reasoning.
