Funny, yes, but off-topic. Could we get away from that please? I, for one, am unhappy with the way Bush-bashing has become so en vogue and acceptable everywhere. I dislike the guy, and would never vote for him, but it's clear that just a small hair less than the majority is willing to cast a vote in his favor at this very moment (hah, same as last election!), so I don't know why it's acceptable to gang up on him and assume everyone's a Kerry fan, when this kind of thing has not been a tolerable in the past. - reid (playing with my new Airport Express as we speak!!)
