And those he masters now: now he weighs time
Even to the utmost grain:--that you shall read
In your own losses if he stay in Bhagdad.

Goodness gracious, we have a BARD amongst us! Well said, dasboot!

Well, I didn't say it: The Bard did. (Henry V)

Reading the post and cogitatin' late events, I was struck by the similarities between the way folks view GW, and the way King Harry was dismissed by the French as a ne'er-do-well pretender to royal station: more inclined to drink, jape and caper, than to seriously--and effectively--assume to mantle of England's throne.

Harry kicked butt....so will GW.

P.S. The kids will really like Kenneth Brannaugh's version of Henry V. Then they can read the play, after they get the gist and flavor of 15th century syntax. Great way to introduce them to Shakespeare!

Ah, we happy few!
