    I've had the urge to re-program the teleprompters and see if the politicians just mindlessly read what they put up. It would be fun to find out.

    Sorry A, I didn't see your post before I did today's update on the wake, or I would have linked!

    It's been a real sad day around here, except for the good news about the birth certificate of course.

    IR and Smiley - actually there have been mishaps with the teleprompter and he has either stopped in complete confusion or said some really stupid things...

    Angel - I've seen some pretty bad newbie types at Toastmasters, but I've never seen anyone who is as bad a speaker as that fool...
