NP - Ashcroft to Pursue Suicide Doctors

[barbara100 at jps.net]

Ditsy, huh?  I thought I sounded pretty good.  As for the message--the only thing tired about that is it's still going on Every day more and more freeze and starve and get blown to bits. Maybe it's just getting hard for you to swallow, eh?  Sorry, but like I said, there's just no excuse for me to shut up.

Question for Barbara--do you think trying to make yourself sound more ditsy
than you actually are make the tired old message any less rancid?
