Thanks Mark. Hypocritical politicians are a sore point with me. That's why I asked Spike to write this piece. I rant; he's rational.

Only problem is, he doesn't write fast. Frequently stops to lick his ding-dong. I don't get it: he's old; it doesn't work. He licks it anyway. Something about trying to do tongue-to-wang resuscitation. At least he hasn't put the paddles to it yet. But one of these days I expect to hear "Clear!" in the next room. I just hope he doesn't turn the voltage up too high and burn the little thing off.
