PS  I've discovered after listening to interviews with people on NPR

with the following:

"...although I fully support our troops in Yugoslavia."

 Let's see...

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW WITH REP. FARNSWORTH
MARCH 30, 1999
INTERVIEWER:  TERRY GROSS (FRESH AIR/NPR)

[...]
Rep. F.:  Why, yes, Terry.  Since you mention it, yes, I did travel to
Cuba three months ago and meet with President Castro.  During our meeting
he agreed that his government would join with my staff in funneling
leftover funds from my '96 campaign into abortion clinics here in the
U.S.  In exchange I provided President Castro - or 'El Jefe' as I like to
call him - and his senior military staff with detailed information
regarding the vulnerabilities of our cruise missiles and stealth aircraft
technology.  And since you asked, yes, while I was in Havana I employed
the services of several teenaged prostitutes of both sexes.  Thank you
for giving me an opportunity to come clean.
 Let me add, though, that I fully support our troops in Yugoslavia,
and if I wasn't a card-carrying atheist, I'd be praying for their safe
return.

The local paper yesterday noted that pot busts have been more numerous

  Could this possibly be partly due to the budgetary incentives the
prosecutorial machine now has in drug arrests.

I know you're joking by taking this to its extreme, Jon, but as an
atheist, I wouldn't pray for their safe return either. I'd just want
them to return safely.

No question. Also, the prison industry has become big business. I don't
have stats handy, there's a lot of big money behind all this prison
construction; the article I read yesterday focused on the phone
companies. It does put a nice spotlight on the answer to the question
"Does America have political prisoners?"

Oh, I get it, you accidentally hit the send button. It happens to all of us
at one time or another. Because heaven forfend we blame Clinton for his own
policies, and surely we can't blame the people who voted him into office
(and indirectly contributed to the application of those policies). It has to
be the people who didn't even vote for him. Those sonsabitches ruin
everything. Well now, that makes perfect sense.

it'd be illegal . . .
