I particualrly liked the business above where we are "flocking
uncritically" to the Dem party --  I guess it is as well that he was

Not enough, however, to drive us into bed with Ralph Reed and the

  I wonder what the fundamentalists and flat earthers are 
  going to make out of life on Mars?  How will it sit with 
  the absurd creationists, with the theological Luddites?

            Never a dull moment!!
