Yeah,  well speaking for the average dude who still
reads the NYT we have  always known this was just
spin. Like get the shoe shine boy in Iraq, but we
never got him,  or get the the guy in Solmalia but we
never did, or get the Lybian guy, or the bad guy in
Cambodia, or in Chile, or in Mexico, or that PLO, IRA,
BAMF, black guy, tough guy, bad guy.  It's comic book.
 

 Bush knows it, the press knows it, the average dude
knows it too. Of course some people take it to mean
that we are all living in China,  but they are not
serious people they just think very little of us
average dudes cause they are riding a swell in their
own skulls.
