Dear WO'N:interesting. However, I see little merit in the
way those words were chosen.

Whatthehell, Dr Bill - you've gotta have some perameters! As good a place as any.
WON - interesting! Thanks for the link.
I wonder if Arnold's slogan for his next run for Gov will be "I'll be back."

Doesn't have quite the same nobility as "I shall return" though, does it!

Thanks WO'N. Doesn't embedded surprise you though? I hardly heard it after the first three weeks or so of on-site reproting. The only time we heard of embedded reporting was during actual combat, isnt' it? I would think WMD would have rated higher. Oh well...c'est la curious vie. His prediction for 2004 is equally gloomy, I hope he is wrong. I hope we have all have a lovely year and some wonderfully frothy word dominates our conversations.

Now there is a lovely word right there. Light and lively without implying a lack of substance underneath. In fact, the implication is that underneath you will discover something delicious, probably fattening, possibly inebriating but definitely worth investigating.
Felicitous investigations to you all!
