By the way, this invitation is open to people who've become mennonites, not
just those who got here by accident of birth.

Mark Crispin Miller...once made a striking observation:
all of the famous Bush malapropisms--"I know how hard
it is for you to put food on your family," and so on--have
involved occasions when Mr. Bush was trying to sound
caring and compassionate.
By contrast, Mr. Bush is articulate and even grammatical
when he talks about punishing people; that's when
he's speaking from the heart. The only animation
Mr. Bush showed during the flooding of New Orleans was
when he declared "zero tolerance of people breaking
the law," even those breaking into abandoned stores in
search of the food and water they weren't getting from
his administration.
