Thanks for your kind words.<br /><br />Mimi: I would absolutely love to meet you for lunch and talk about anything at all, or not much of anything ...

Both claim the name of their gods, but differ in their epithets. To the GOP it is Zeus of the Military Industrial Complex, to the DNC Zeus of the Unions.
