Paul Kirsch writes: PS I've discovered after listening to interviews with people on NPR yesterday that, if you are an elected official, you can say anything controversial you want publicly- provided you end your statements 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. --Jon Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wollaston, Massachusetts

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. (And I'm not a Commie or a pimp.) Bob

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?" Bob

The "If you don't vote you can't complain" folks have themselves to blame. Bob 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. Lance, who would like to believe that if voting actually changed anything, it'd be illegal . . .
