You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. - Ray Bradbury
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

Good quote, Snave. Sometimes it seems like Dubya has a big old blind spot on this stuff.
You know Goerge really needs a 'verbal roadie', some guy in a black shirt crouched off stage ready to charge the mike stand and correct what he says. "Errr what the Prez actually meant ..."
I like Damien's idea. However, considering the enormity of blunders, Dubya would need several verbal roadies.
Yes, POTUS would need several verbal roadies! In fact, they might have to be standing right next to him throughout his speeches, constantly whispering in his ears. If they were offstage, they might not be able to reach him fast enough to control the damage!
