LOL!Well cheese is a big food item in France, too! She knew what she was doing....wanting to go to France....

And here is a fairly rare e-mail from William, with news on the campus front:

Guess who's coming to campus in October? the Right Honourable John Major. In February? The Right Silly Ben Stein. I can already feel the intellectual air of the campus clearing up in anticipation of their arrival.

Limbaugh talking about the trap the Daschlecrats have walked into....wanting to debate Iraq on the eve of the election...Now, they've got what they wanted and they're screaming Foul!

Also pointed out a possible new Dem phrase: "kitchen table issues".

It is in some respects amusing to watch the Democrats and the media work.The latest poll showing we should attack Saddam but only if our allies sign on is typical of using polling to try to mold public opinion.

I betcha the questions went like this.


   Should the USA remove Saddam?
   Should the USA go to war to remove him?
   Should the USA get support of its allies before attacking
   Iraq?

This would be like asking you the following question. If your house caught on fire, should you call for help before fighting it yourself? When you say yes they report that you believe that if you house caught on fire and help would not come, you would not try to put the fire out by yourself.

That is the same leap of faith they are making when they print that US Citizens would only approve of attacking Saddam if we get allied help? Many who oppose an attack think they can mold public opinion by saying everyone is against what Bush wants to do. That only works on inconsequential things. The media fails to understand that there are limits to molding public opinion.

If someone proposes painting the School house blue and white you might be against it. But if most people were for painting it those colors you might go along.

If someone proposes stocking the elementary School Play ground with hungry alligators, and polls showed most people were for it, you would be motivated to stop the alligator stocking by any means you could acquire. Especially if your kids are going to spend recess on that playground. But that does not mean you would not act if you coudln't get help.

There are limits to media spin. The Democrats and media do not understand what they are doing. They are just motivating the people who oppose them.
