    @ Mssrs Snoid, sysprog and Montague

    Mr Snoid: It's 'cause [Sartre] wrote Les jews sont faits!

    Actually it is Les Jeux sont faits, or, The Game is Up. Have not read it, but don't think it has anything to do with Jews -- and I further think you were being a comic and already know this. :)

    sysprog : Sorry if I got into a snit. I just have had several occasions where Anglo commenters go off into German and I had no idea what they are writing -- that ticks me off.

    Jim Montague wrote: Bill Kristol, Limbaugh, and Krauthammer that did it for me.

    All three of those were at this dinner? Well, if so. .
