| #6 But John, if it isn't this excuse it will be another. The Paks won't go to Wazoo regardless. If I were the Indian commander along the LoC, I'd be damned if I let my own people die so as not to provide an 'excuse'. |

| #5 I thought that the old guy had been superceded by the new and improved version of the Kumbaya Kid. The most regretable moment in my life was voting for Schmucker Peanut in '76. He sounded pretty good, what with 0 based budgeting etc. Luckily I could make up for my lapse in '80 and vote for Saint Ronnie. |
