[Miss Marple]

You are SO right!

I have noted the behavior of people during the last few months. I have a list of people whose writings I now ignore and will not purchase, and a list of people whose candidacies I will not support.

As I said about Bill Frist in his response to the UAE controversy, anyone who is easily stampeded by the media and the democrats does not have the leadership skills for the presidency. Period.

Certain talk show hosts have been replaced by some great CD's these days too.

Done wonders for my mood and my outlook on life.

I agree with you wholeheartedly Miss Marple. Frist really blew it by accepting the initial press reports rather than stating something like this: "we already know that the media misreports facts more that it reports the truth, we should wait until we hear the facts before making any opinion on this matter". Its just like how the pubbies reacted to the NYTimes NSA story -- they jumped on board the NYTimes position before gaining any facts. Frist is no leader, and that was made perfectly clear by his reaction.

Right now in Dubai, the papers are still playing it cool. But the Congressional reaction to the deal is beginning to raise questions about the long-term strategic relationship between the UAE & the USA.

People like Frist, a man in a power position, should look out for the USA first. If he can't, he should give the job to someone who can.

Me too. I feel just Santa Clause: I'm keeping a list and checking it twice.....
