#1 Heh. Every time I read a story about Howard - I like him a little more. He's getting dangerously close to totally phrakin' awesome, in my book.

Exclude Bush for a second and ask yourself: How far back would you have to go to find a US Pres who didn't think he was pretty far above special and that privilege was his due -- Truman, maybe?

Hell, we've got a herd of US Senators who would go apeshit. Imagine John F'n Kerry and Tahrayzah actually passing through airport security - like the little folks, y'know, us sheeple (heh)... Yeah, right.

It's probably well past time to bring our Public Servants back down into line with that fact - they're Public Servants. No wait, make that public servants. Yeah, that's more like it.

I excluded Bush above because I figure he'd be down with it, without much fuss and prolly a lot of laughter, but it's hard to picture many others who would be. In fact - if you ponder the folks in question, there's probably a clear inverse relationship between the individual's arrogance and their value to the Republic, lol!

Good on ya, Howard. You rock.
