Mr. Powell is the sanest one of the bunch. He advised Bush NOT TO GO TO WAR! And that would be my point: he knew it was the wrong move but he still fell in line. Being a good soldier? Maybe. Being a good SoS? Nope.

Losers have no say in administration affairs.

Losers have no say in administration affairs. BiK says he is not Dave Shoji, he is not Octavius, he is not Augustus; are you our very own President Bush?

Where's your sense of humor Gorfiend? Is it too going bad? Btw, what kind of signature is that? You may address me as Augutus now. I am Augustus Caesar, ruler of Rome! Augustus - As in: The one that used his own sister Octavia as bait in a marriage deal with Marc Antony? The one that used his daughter Julia to marry his nephew Marcellus as a means of setting Marcellus as his heir apparent? The one that used the same daughter to marry his own best friend Agrippa to set Agrippa up as his successor? The one that allowed his wife to force the same daughter again to marry his own step-son Tiberius to set Tiberius up as the new heir apparent? Apparently the rulers of old Rome had a similar sense of "moral values" as our present day "conservatives".

Augustus as in the creator of an imperial government that guided Roman affairs for 3 centuries. Augustus as in supreme leader of Rome.

The one that used his own sister Octavia as bait in a marriage deal with Marc Antony? Marc Anthony - didn't he marry J Lo? All this Roman crapola reminds me of Mel Brooks' History of the World - Part I. Many classic lines from the Roman Empire part of that movie. Oh...and you guys are all dorks.

Silence peon. How dare you insult Caesar. Love what you've done with the place in Vegas. That shopping mall with the sky that changes and the moving statues, sheer genius. But that venue you built for Celine Dion - major flop. The cocktail servers have the best outfits in all of Vegas, gotta hand it to you on that one. Your table games are the suck, however. Much better odds in Downtown Vegas. Plus, I inevitably run into a distant relative at the plate lunch place in the California Hotel.
