"If this is the treatment a red state gets, imagine if something happens to a blue state." God is like Bush, just degrees of bad. Seems his favorite all around zap is the tornado. Mostly red states on that. With friends like God, who needs enemies. Andy Amago Couldn't resist (even knowing it might cause the sleeping giant to awaken and fuss again <g>), Marlena in Missouri
