Well, in a separate post in this thread I outlined the major crime that
W. has committed.  Yet I suspect he doesn't drown puppies in his spare
time.  I've accepted tote bags from vendors that I had no intention of

headed for Costa Rica.  Slippery slopes are often not nearly as slippery
as they appear from a distance.
