      From: joe_f@verizon.net              In the alumni magazine of my high school, the address of the       graduation speaker, one Tim Weiner '73, includes:               The White House continues to spout its moral certainties, to mouth        political platitudes that give the appearance of solidity to pure        wind, to wield secrecy and fear as a sword and a shield to protect        their power.              No quotation marks, but perhaps he could reasonably expect his       audience to recognize the phrase.              LBJ also lives:               Last piece of free advice: The only thing in the middle of the        road is white lines and road kill.              Mr Johnson, IIRC, made it yellow lines & dead armadillos, which IMO is       better poetry, making us all Texans for the nonce.       --       --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net              ||: Solid-state physics is the physics of dirt effects. :||              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
