Hey there, Dagrolord - I'm a little overwhelmed by your extremely kind message. From you, that's a great compliment, you great big lucky clover, you. Thank you. I'm always on the hunt for your distinctive green signature on these here pages - your commentary is one of the things that keep me coming back.

I answered your answer in the thread about Doris Lessing, but I was so concerned about being witty that I forgot to address it to you. I'm just letting you know that it's there somewhere.

Coolness; at least your elections are fascinating (if not nerveracking). Our last one was about tax cuts and secret Exclusive Brethren funding, this year it's privatisation.

I liked your post, anyway. I meant to say that in the long-winded post below. Rational points, articulate argument, etc.

Sorry, we live in different time zones; only just saw your comment on Bristol Palin post. Am not sure if it was directed at me, but my main complaint was that attacking Bristol Palin's sexuality was not cricket; coming from a much more liberal country, I don't like Palin or McCain's policies in any respect.
And I do feel that the teenage pregnancy in the family of a VP that wants to eliminate choice in other families is indeed important.

But, given that Bristol is still legally a child and at this stage has neither spoken publicly nor entered herself willingly into the public sphere, to cast aspersions as to her supposed promiscuity/stupidity is both mean and unfair. There is plenty to criticise in her mother without resorting to trash-talking the kids.
That was all.

It's eerie how well you know me already... or maybe I'm just that obvious/transparent.
