Yeah, that would have placed her age at around 231 years... Most ladies get
sensitive about having their age over called... :-)

Don't know if you watch Dave Letterman. We get it here a few days after it
airs in the US. He has a section of the show where he shows quick clips of
inspiring Presidential speeches (Truman, Kennedy etc.) then shows Dubya
stuttering, stumbling, getting names wrong, and generally behaving like a
bumbling idiot. Sadly, he has a new clip every time the show airs (some of
them are hilarious...even George must laugh when he sees it) and it doesn't
seem like he is going to run out of material any time soon. It makes me
wonder how someone who is so blatantly hopeless can hold the most powerful
office on Earth. Guess it's who you know... :-)

Pete.
