Michelle,

I know you're smarter than I am, but when did Tom Lantos become elected to the Senate? And then become the minority leader?

(I'm asking you in e-mail, because I don't want to embarrass you in your blog. That's your job.)

Well, Nyssa is wrong about one thing - about me being smarter. Of course she's right that Tom Boy is hardly in the Senate, but a Congressman from California. If you care to read about him, you can find him here.

I stand behind my rant though. I don't care if his real job is cleaning out the toilets in LAX - it was still stupid of him to say to to Germany, France and Belgium that "Without us, [they'd] have been part of the Soviet Union!"

I'll back off from politicking for awhile. It is clear that I haven't got the slightest idea about what goes on in the world.
