    eek The Dark Arts of spin doctoring...

    Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the Gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times, caught by Pinkerton Detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.

    Judy Wallman e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff of professional image adjusters sent back the following biographical sketch:

    'Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad.

    Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honour when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
    "Standing on your mother's corpse you told me that you'd wait forever." [Bryan Adams: Summer of 69]

    Bwahahahaha, shows how much the truth can be twisted!
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    Some of us have been able to read for longer than that.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Oh, yea well they've been doing it that long it ain't funny.

    And really, I don't pay all that much attention to politics as they're all arses.

    I don't pay all that much attention to the pollies as they all seem to be the same, Arseholes.
    Any time some one I do like is in the running, they don't get voted in.
