... with the formality of 'pretense.' At least one knows where they stand with the hypocritical Washington Post, but, for this to be realize at this time in the progress to Democratic leadership in the House and Senate is just to clear to it's desperate need.
Ah, it's so touching to see the wealthy sincerely appreciate each other at the expense of the less fortunate and those that actually believe law and species preservation actually means something.
Go, figure, huh?

His radio address followed a speech on trade he delivered Friday in Miami. Bush also granted interviews this week to business-oriented news organizations.

There is the requisite tiny hunk of phlegmy, grunting hate mail from the turgid and the monosyllabic and the neoconservative. Well and good and lovely.
But then there's this other hunk, a surprisingly large and very whiny group of responders who invariably say something like this: It does not matter that Company X has made impressive strides in environmental awareness or product design or gay rights or whatever the hell you're talking about. It does not matter that maybe you're a little bit right and this is a slightly revolutionary thing you mention....
The grossly wealthy in the USA need to understand 'wealth management' no longer comes with RIGHTS to lust after public and protected lands.
