Hi Harvey, Chuck, Brian, Gordon, Joe, EnViroNetrs,

<When I wrote of an inferior candidate who used smear tactics to get
elected, I had a couple others in mind, not Jefferson.  I think you know
that but thanks for the history lesson.>

Harvey, I knew you knew that Jefferson was good.

Jefferson died first and was reported to say something like "John is still alive". 
And when John Adams died either within hours or the next day John Adams 
was reported to have said the same thing for his later in life letter writing 
friend Jefferson.

I have seen this story a few times and it is someplace on the History Channel 
or NatGeoC or PBS. 

<So you never heard of the Global Warming Swindle.  Google it, but be sure
to read the critiques as well.>

I will. The only thing I can remember seeing recently was an article about how 
some Congressman from Oklahoma brought a Science Fiction writer to testify 
that Global Warming was hogwash. That was the recent Cheney Republican 
Congress so it was pretty much A Full Political Theatre to manipulate public 
opinion since the Executive Branch was running the entire government. This 
was the worse congress that I have seen in Years and Years, and it is near 
embarrassing to still be a registered republican. Mit Romney from Mass in spite 
of his fantastic good looks, and charisma is another GOP embarrassment. Yet 
his good looks go a long way for the populace. History does repeat itself and 
we have had far worse Congress's is my only up tick. The Britts got the same 
problem when they finally get rid of lying, hyping TonyB.

P.S. Remember according to predictions this year our average temperature will 
go up maybe 0.03 degrees (3/100) on a statistical trend line. A slow road with 
lots and lots of human politics on the horizon since most citizens have no idea 
about a statisical trend line.
