Balance, anyone? You have some nerve writing about leaders of the free
world. I guess Clinton has been a beacon to follow, right?

Hey, smart ass. Can you read? I wrote *PROBABLY*, and then you ask me
how I *know* this. Isn't *probably* an admission that I don't know it?
Otherwise, Einstein, I would have omitted *probably*.

You filthy hypocrite. All the shit Clinton and Gore weaseled out of and
you are going to lambaste Bush because of his speech. At least bad
speech isn't illegal. It *is* possible to be a decent man with bad
grammar, just as it is possible to be a filthy piece of shit while
being photogenic and having a mastery of the English language.

You are a product of the new age, and I loathe you. You put more value
on form than function.
