So what parts of that were confirmed lies? When do the slander suits
begin - overshadowed by Michael Jackson case?

LOL. Love democracy - a bunch of people who know nothing about
leadership voting for a bunch of people who know nothing about leadership -
even bitches get to vote which means there is no possibilty of anyone with
any balls and brains getting a say in anything - thus the current inevitable
crop of dildos at the helm of every political party.

You never saw that engine on the street? Did man really land on the
moon?

I saw it (911) happen live - looked pretty real to me.

Hey, I'm just surprised that you didn't tell me to take a flying
leap. But since we're talking deals, how about throwing in a GT4
review too :-)

Still leaves SEX, right?

Okay, everyone Kumbaya time ...

LOL - that's what i was gunna say.

No doubt, Hussein needed to be booted. But the manner in which it has
been done has been pathetic. Bush talks to much and buys into too many
idiotic viewpoints and agendas/reasoning. He and others needed to stick to
the key point - Hussein was an arsehole with a lot of power - the whole
chemical weapons thing was a joke. Bush1 and Bush 2 have basically flushed
****loads of taxpayer dollars down the toilet in the name of accomplishing a
basic task in a hopeless manner. With images of tortured prisoners with
homosexual overtones at the hands of U.S. troops who look like they'd be
right at home hanging out with Hussein's son, the whole thing is just a big
joke. Those soldiers needed to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Moral to the story - might has won the day with one bunch of dogs
replacing another.

Most would simply shake their head at your "furrin" car.

Then again, those in the know would probably still shake their head and
wonder why you would put up with such a tempermental car. I had considered
an Integrale Evo for a while, but couldn't come to grips with the various
electrical issues, or ultimately with the rather sad image the car has here
in Switzerland. The Escort Cossie, Sport Quattro and Integrale were all
awesome rally machines, no doubt, but just too wild for daily use (IMHO) and
although in a whole different league than the Manta/Camaro/Capri of old
days, still a modern "mullet-head" car (even if the modern equivalent driver
doesn't have a mullet). I'm not saying this is a justly deserverd
reputation, but it seems to be the case - for every driver who appreciates
the rally heritage and dynamic talents of the Integrale, there are 10
hooligans who just like to make the wastegate go Whoop-Whoop while eyeing
the ladies from their slammed-to-the-floor Sparco seat. I prefer more of a
Q-ship, or a classic roadster. For my tastes, the current generation of
Subaru STis and Mitsu Evos are also just a little too boy racer for me.

But I diverge. The sad thing is that Americans don't appreciate the
hatchback anymore...

No one at MY family's dinner table ever THOUGHT to talk abt. sex...or
drugs...or rock & roll...or even tobacco or booze. Or maybe they never had
the BALLS (now that mysogeny is outta the closet in this discussion).
