Good Evening Victoria. Ready for Easter?

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm ready for Easter, how about you?

[X-FID]

with right-winger and CIA-friendly Manuel Artime as the political chief.

This is the second time "right-winger" is mentioned (the first is the "right-wing press"), how come no "left-wingers"? Must not have been that many in the Kennedy admin.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Good catch.

[X-FID]

Why thanx.

[SAMWolf]

I can't remember the last time I heard someone described as left-wing it seems the adjective only applies to the right wing.

[Do the Dew]

I will try and wait patiently.

[X-FID]

These are my favorite ping's, keep up the good work!
