Sabertooth was and is a friend of mine (although we disagreed about how to deal with illegals, but less so as time went on as I moved part of the way towards his position). I miss him here, and the rigor of his mind, his excellent research capabilities, and his well developed writing skills (the guy was an English major from a rather prestigious university).
And so it goes. I hope that helps.
We could use a Sabertooth around here now to help quell the Quisling outbreaks.
