If you really believe that, don't ask me for directions around metro Houston
and Galveston. I'd have you looping around Beltway 8 and having to pay a
toll on the East Sam Beltway where it crosses the Ship Channel.

I think Carl Rogers is too busy levverage-ing his output, decremulating
his frannistan, delivering his CDs and up-ramping his out
thrustifications to make much of a contribution. Carl Todgers, the twurp
who makes GW look intelligent by comparison.

"Failure" is also another real English word and much better suited to the
