    I certainly hope he is the paper tiger/media creation he appears to be ...

    I was just delighted he would be absent from L&O where his character and his acting grate on me ... badly.

    Dan Abrams on MSNBC was playing 30-40 year old ** never before seen ** Charles Manson interviews last night ... how desperate is that ... the Manson was barely comprehensive, probably incomprehensible to anyone who didn't live through the 60s and partake of their share.

    We can only pray that "the media" doesn't annoint Thompson as "the natural" as they did Bush ...

    Bush has been losing an international popularity contest to both Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden....

    The Democrats may be poised for a stunning three-peat ... similarly in danger of appearing plainly incoherent and ineffectual ... as they trip over each hurdle between now and November 2008 ... at least they could don costumes including garish makeup and red rubber noses and arrive in a teeny-tiny clown car, battling each other with bouncy foam bats and plastic water-squirting butonnieres.
