#2 I've become convinced Kerry isn,t modeling his life after JFK, instead it's Martin Sheen movies.
First there is Apocalypse Now and going upriver into Cambodia.
Then the War at Home and Chicago 8.
Now he is imitating Senator Sleazebag in the Dead Zone.
For the 2005 viewing season, Kerry wants to do a West Wing reprise.
Aren't there anti-stalking laws to prevent this?

#3 Niyazov was the head of the Turkmen S.S.R. Communist Party when the Soviet Union fell, so the post fell into his lap. Just think, the USSR could still be together, and Niyazov could have risen to become the head of the USSR.

#7 And soon:

"We the Turkmenbashi declare only melons may be members of the legislature. Therefore when We go and consult with them, and We have dissent. We can eat the offending politician. When Our session with the new Melonatti is done, We can go outside Ashgabat, and counsult with our new ministers at the Equine Leisure Center."
