Dear Jeff, Now I'm interested.... who has been protecting your chicken ass? Have you ever put anything on any line? who protects you? Certainly not the folks that spew the " blood for oil" cliche... then you do the "chicken hawk" thing? Is that all you have? What would you expect from Howard Dean? Tell Me, Is it best to be half hawk, or all chicken? (cluck)... you will be rendered down to a bar of soap by the people that you support. Regards from Earth, John
