Well I keep trying to discuss it, but you keep telling me you are too busy talking to Time Magazine to respond..........


G R E A T B I G G R I N !!!

As soon as I get my Time and if I find the time to read my Time, I'll let you now what I thought of the Time - article.

Any one know the time when Time will be released? I'd like to spend some time with the Time article and must schedule my time appropriately.

Wead it on wine. Normally don't wead the wadical weft wing wag.

Vern, how far to the right of Attilla the Hun (or how far out in the sticks) do you have to be to think some innocuous, centrist rag like TIME is "Left Wing"??? You need to hang out here in the land of collectives of Lesbian Separatist Vegans and for a while to get some perspective!!!!!

Yeeeeee Haaaaaw from the People's Republic of Santa Monica (where Tom Hayden is my State Senator), Roberto

Roberto, I'm not WW. My parents' friend when I was a kid was Roy Alexander then editor of Time. He must be rolling over in his grave. If you want middle of the road read U.S. News and World Report. Time is as far left as Weekley Standard is right.

>>Time is as far left as Weekley Standard is right.<<

My point exactly! These are BOTH solidly centrist arguing over who gets which half of the middle.Here in LA LA we got fascists and Greenpeacers and Transgender Rights Advocates and Militia / Hells Angel / Holy Rollers. Most Americans wouldn't know a true leftist or rightists if they ran over one, it's all the mushy center.

Anarchy and Amarone forever, Roberto

PS sorry about mistaking you for Verne, you adopted his "four sheets to the wind" writing style for a moment there....

Betch`a boobs (oops boots Roberto) Tom really showd us numbskulls when he dumped her "Jane-Ness". What jernt do we be eatin` in next trip. Can`t be more expensive than my lunch at the frenchie ; 26 plus tip for my lunch (MY bottle) and 45 bucks for the parking fine I`ll critique the Time Article later. SellSellsellsellsellSELL. Tis` be the season to move that juice. winoweenie

Got my Time Magazine in the mail today. At least their cover did not use the word CHAOS in big bold letters like the other two did.

I was sorely disappointed at USN&WR over their cover. I would have thought they'd be a little more responsible.

I was actually heartened by TIME's cover. "Yes, we'll survive."

As to the article.........

Well there go all those used to be $26.00 a bottle RM Champagnes....... from now on they'll be selling for $52.00 or more.

Can't we have at least one secret? DRAT!
