Can I be the Czar of Czars? I will keep track of daily scheduling and give them an hourly wage based on the time spent Czaring. I think thats fair don't you? I will accept and 8 hr wage based on the amount of tracking I keep. The Csars should be limited to 2 secretaries and maybe an assistant Czar. |

Richard Holbrooke was once a governor of New Mexico? That would be news to New Mexicans if it were true. Which it's not.
That list, BD, is a wacko fringe propaganda lie - the characterizations of the people listed are nothing but smear jobs. If there's even a grain of truth in the descriptions, it's twisted beyond any resemblance to reality. _________________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~Martin Luther King Jr.
