Hello Roger:

Say it again. "There is a price to pay for being a prick." Our
President will not feel safe until he is removed from office in
November, 2004 and is comfortable at the confines of his ranch in
Texas.

The President's security detail requested that the Queen's palace (sp)
be reinforced where he will sleep during his three day stay in
England. The Queen refused to accomodate his request. Nothing like
being a bit paranoid.

Peace is better than war,

Famous
