The man who sold America's birthright for a mess or pottage -- or as Theodore Sturgeon once spoonerised in another context: "for a pot of message." Never mind the legaility, morality, justification or explanation of Russia's invasion -- how dare Bush open his mouth. God, I hate them all. Jesus Christ, I hate them all so very, very, very much. But they do make me laugh. Mike Geary laughing because I'm in love with irony in Memphis
