The person whom I've called "incompetent" most often during the
past week has been Al Gore. I presume you have no objection to me
calling him "incompetent"? That it all depends on to whom the names
are applied?
As for Nader... You somehow think that the left in America is
stronger today
Brad, hang it up. The thing is, we don't accept your iron cage. We
don't accept defeat. We won't go away. Maybe we're mad, whether
