Yeah, John. Especially to Sen. Ted Stevens,
Alaska's brightest, who stood before his
colleagues in the Senate, recently, with a large
white 4 foot x 4 foot square on an easel and
intoned in his functionally illiterate
understanding of the language and natural history
of his state: "As you-all can see, there's
nuttin' there in an-war."
For those who wish to know more about that issue,
see/rent/buy the DVD, "Oil On Ice,"
http://www.oilonice.org/ shown recently on PBS
and a doc that won a major award at the Sundance
Film Festival.
