Poor Robert, indeed. I join your commiseration. Vectors, as I'm sure you know, have both magnitude and direction. Obie's direction is certainly the same as Bushie's. Whether his magnitude is any different is a nice question. He has, of course, three years to go. Apples to apples, and all that. Even so, he's putting a lot of points on the board. -- [email protected] http://stopmebeforeivoteagain.org 'I don't want to know about it; I don't choose to discuss it; I don't admit it!' Mr Podsnap had even acquired a peculiar flourish of his right arm in often clearing the world of its most difficult problems, by sweeping them behind him (and consequently sheer away) with those words and a flushed face. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
