        Palin: "... it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover,

8/7     Am I the only one who thinks Biden makes a lot more sense than
        either Hilary or Obama?
        \_ I don't know much about Biden, but I'm not much for either Hillary
           or Obama, so, sell him to me.

10/31   Looks like the October Surprise was Kerry being an incredible

        \_ Looking more and more like coup accomplished.
           \_ Funny thing, when I was there, one of our friends--a former
              army officer and the daughter of one of the governor--gave us
              the impression that the army wasn't really happy with Thaksin.

        \_ The French sure showed us!

        \_ Truth stranger than fiction:

        former colonel in the Air Force and a veteran of three spaceflights,
        said "I'm a person who won't even get on a roller coaster at an

          \_ actually this works really well especially with undecided
