I couldn't get the "send a suggestion ..." link to work for me; but I recommend without any hesitation, the excerpt from Gore's new book, "Assault on Reason" that the Guardian printed this morning.

Oh! Mid-June for the "no confidence vote, eh? Oh, no problem...no hurry. It's just the whole country going down the c-----r! Better take some time off and think it over

AND...I just cannot find words enough - but have to try - to say again, how utterly despicable I think Monica Goodling is.

Straight from the halls of justice where she served as guillotine queen for the mob, to the hearing tables of Congress, where she was transformed (!) into a poor, distraught little maiden, who really truly only wanted to "serve" her king, and just didn't know...just didn't know what was right. or wrong... oh, BA-LONE-Y!! Makes weader want to fwoe up!!
