      Exactly. It's remarkable the amount of dysfunction we've seen in the last decade or so.

          A few years back, I remember reading in the WSJ where they were reporting that something like 13% of the public thought congress was doing a good job. The author wanted to know "who are these people?" I wonder now if the percentage thinking they're doing a "good job" would reach double digits.

            Remember when he was mocked for his "Southern accent?"

            He can turn a phrase, though, can't he?

                    I saw Daniel Craig (James Bond) in two movies last week where he had a southern accent. It was weird.

                      True fact...Much of the Southern accent is very close to the British accent of the 1700's. Brits usually find the accent pretty easy to do...

                        I can do a pretty good impersonation of Sheriff John W. Pepper if the need arises.
