That’s a peculiar style of internet moniker –a complete facsimile of an actual name –even down to the inclusion of a middle initial. I mean, how weird –as weird as asking people to believe that Georgia’s armed forces were equal or better than Russia’s (maybe the first few thousand troops, the first fighter squadron, the first tank brigade –but then Georgia goes to zero and Putin still has a hundred divisions, 6000 combat aircraft, 2000 tanks, 2000 medium range bombardment missiles, ICBMs, brown and blue and undersea water navies, theater nukes, tac nukes, battlefield nukes, 21st century C&C, hordes of heavily-armed out-of-uniform bloodthirsty psycho-irregulars with permission from Russian puppets to keep whatever properties and farms they can murder or terrorize the owners out of, and a gas and oil -powered 20,000 man diplomatic/espionage corp lodged in every world city, fully armed with honey-pot fotos of the local national leaders, street demonstrators on-call, bought journos, et cetera et cetera).

doug, let me decline the invite –if i put walt in temp 2nd place, i’ll go all Satchel Paige until i lose. anyway, how’d YOU get to be judge? i protest! in fact, i’m revolting!
