I frequently go back and cancel stuff that I've posted after it loses its
latency.  So, if you want to save a nugget of bill-dom, save it to a file!

People bitch at me for this nasty habit, but I have to keep the potential
ammunition that can be used against me in my upcoming senatorial campaign
to a minimum.  That's why I post to such a bland and uncontroversial group
as this.

No no, really,

Hmmm.  I tend to agree.  This is the first time I've backed a winner myself,
since I wasn't old enough to vote until '82, and even then I had to wait two
years to back a presidential wanna-be.

The thing about having had Reagan/Bush in office for 12 years, is that it's
sort of like picking at a scab for a really long time.  Even if Clinton
turns out to be as much of a schmuck as the GOP prez's we've had (which I
find tough to fathom, but anything is possible), he'll be a *different*
schmuck.  Therefore, the scab that the executive branch has been playing
with since '80 will have a chance to heal.  Of course, we'll likely have
new wounds by the end of the term, but hopefully this one'll start to
heal before it gets gangrenous.

the land of nuts and flakes, while I am from Iowa, the land of the Carhart

and yet remain friends (the recent presidential election comes to mind),
I think we are two of the most diverse, yet impartial judges you could find.

goddamned planet, in case anybody doubted this fact.  We'll even let our
own Mayor, Geoff Miller, criticize our reasoning, which shall be by the
alt.peeves standards of excellence and taste.  Do you both agree to the
contest?  Mail Don and myself simultanously -- not doing so is grounds
for giving the sole person you mailed a net.blowjob, as your intent
was obviously to influence our decision.  Bribes accepted, cash preferred.

`Tis true.  I didn't vote for Clinton so much as I voted against the Bushman.
It's time for a change.  Maybe Clit-on will prove to be an asshole, but at
least somebody else will have had a chance.  It was merely a case of picking
