I was in Canada recently. They still do that there. Not the greatest drivers in the
world but they do respect the left lane as the fast lane. Whoever is slower, moves
to the right. It's a beautiful thing. No flashing of the lights required. ;)

Frenchys prediction of the day: ( If you aren't following the Impeachment hearings,
skip this)

Richard Ben Veniste ( Defender of the Bonnano crime family and now one of Clintons)
was caught in a possible perjurious answer.When asked of morning telephone
conferences between the Clinton administration, himself and other media hacks
posing as Professors with the aim of perpetrating lies to the public through the
spin of the day, Richard was evasive and lost his recollection. Allegedly, these
conferences are *ongoing*. If true, I expect Bob Barr and others to encourage
indictments for perjury against Richard.
The political tea leaves have taken a sour turn for Clinton and the leak tap
regarding China and abuses of power is now at full open as well. Contempt charges
against General Reno are back on the table.
Letters of Caution issued to Military Officers for having spoken against Clinton
publicly have opened Foreign policy leaks to a flow, until now, unseen.

Frenchys prediction: Clinton resigns by June1999.
