sorry to be on your case so much lately, Pat, but it could accurately be said that any American over there right now is taking a whole lot of unnecessary chances, which i suppose comes with the territory when one is serving in unnecessary wars of presidential choice.

speaking of which, since i can't find it online - his columns seem to be a bit of a bitch that way for us non-NYT subscribees - i'll manually enter the text of that Freidman column later today, unless someone can paste it first. any takers? it'd save me some time that i could better utilize by picketing in front of a Planned Parenthood office.
