Well I guess that solves it then. Case closed.

I have just had a revleation. Life will be so much easier if I just
always get the truth straight from Judy.

I suppose cults could use the same reasoning.

I did read it again. And again it appears to me that you make the same
mistake that a lot of smart people make. They confuse  that which
makes crystal clear sense with reality. Bob Bigante does this a lot,
IMO Peter does it, you do it, and frankly I do it -- though I try to
catch myself and make the distinction between what seems "for sure"
and that which may be -- opening myself to the fact that I might be
wrong (though is a small probability) even though I had that FLASH of
Eureaka insight that usually rings the Bell of Truth.

Yes, so lets wait till he does instead of putting words in his mouth.

Yes, the world would be a lot simpler if the damned press would just
call you and clarify what everyone meant when words are ambiguous. But
until Sat yuga, we will have to let the original speakers actually
clarify for themselves what they meant, instead of relying on the
clearly superior method of relying on you. :)

On second read, i agree that your interpretation seems probably. But
to tell you the truth, being the idiot I must be (your words) when I
read it in the press, I thought it a little odd, but I thought Wilson
was making the same point Sanford did last night -- that Val did not
meet the strict definition of the "covert" in the statute.

Oh come now Judy, no need to resort to ad hominen venting and to
delfate what I am sure is your vast capacity for compassion.
