Whats the going rate for a junior congressman ? Do bulk buyers like
Haliburton get a large discount ? Are they edible ?


They're not edible, but they make great pets.

You know that we have people in this newsgroup who could accomplish
that.


Yeah, but they would be trying to run the ship into an iceberg. The sad
thing is I'm betting most of the time they would miss, even if the iceberg
was in fact Greenland. To paraphrase Pete Rose (although I always thought
the quote was from Berra or Stengel since I remember reading it in Bouton's
book), it's a pointy ship and a small iceberg in a big ocean and you've got
to at least graze the side of it.

can only be my assistant in stalking if it was the latter.

Google is useful, but using google only is for
johnny-come-latelies. I do it old-school style;
I just read everything. They took a brain scan of me
when they built the Googlebot. (Like that Star Trek
episode where they gave the computer a personality
by scanning the inventor, but the inventor turns out
to be a nutbar, and Kirk has to save the ship by tricking
the computer into an interminable thread about helmets.)

You laugh now, but when the oil runs out and they
start rationing electricity to two hours a day, you won't
be laughing anymore. It'll be back to this:

It's been proven by SCIENCE that you take more
risks if you're wearing a h*lmet. So if the captain
was wearing a h*lmet, yes.

I've seen several pictures of GWB wearing a (bike)
h*lmet. So maybe this explains a lot.

I really like the image of Bush sitting at his desk in the oval office with
his bike |-|3|_|\/|37 on. Or maybe a meeting of the scurity cabinet, with
Bush, Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Hadley all wearing |-|3|_|\/|37$.

Hey Ben

Sounds like you might be qualified for the greatest job ever suggested.
Robert Heinlein created the "Encyclopedic Synthesist" who's job would
be to stay current with the latest research and suggest, across fields,
things that might be useful and missed by specialists.
He suggsted this somewhere around the 50s, I think, and the knowledge
explosion has made it a lot more difficult, but probably more needed
than ever. I think since he did things like graph projected scientific
and social progress too he knew the difficulties, but it's still got to
be one of the coolest jobs ever suggested.

lol, you're nice, but poor bill (asher)- here it is, his moment of rbr
fame (for what that's worth) and he's "overshadowed" by the event of
someone becoming my assistant.

It occurred to me. Ever try to outsmart an idiot? Too bad
the nyt did not publish the pineapple comment.
