mm-mm good, _No One Left to Lie To_

reminds one what a POS the Clinton presidency was in ever so many ways!

completely unable to forget what a POS the Bush presidency was (while
not denying him one or 2 classy moves - he stfu which is a great boon
and blessing, a-and, hey a pretty nice speech when Obama won...) but
sometimes have been leaning toward Lethe w/r/t WJC

from the book: "The most apparently sophisticated and wised-up person,
who is well accustomed to saying that "there's nothing to choose
between them," can also be heard, under pressure, denouncing
abstainers and waverers for doing the work of the extreme right."
which has not stopped w/r/t tolerance of the Big O, has it?

while not withdrawing support from the program of hope he claimed to
stand for - is it not meet that one should mention serious departures
from it?


oh well, enough about that, back to V.
