On the Daily Show a couple of days ago, John Steward remarked on how Ms. Clinton (one of the most educated people to run for president, having attended both Wellesley College and Yale Law) was (1) rejecting expert opinion; (2) affecting a folksy accent; and (3) threatening to obliterate Iran. His comment: is she morphing into a new Dubya? will he _always_ be the U.S. president?

The oil industry would be the main beneficiaries of this "holiday." -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
