To try to blame that on the administration is like me trying to blame President Bush for Pluto being thrown out of the list of planets.

I still find it intriguing that people who are such really brilliant thinkers will sometimes reach conclusions that one might legitimately disagree with.

The public is sick and tired of it, as they should be.
