" Top kill" fails, we are told today.

As a Nation, we should be ashamed.

We killed 11 people in the Gulf.

We have permitted the rape and murder of Mother Nature and her
children.

We may trust in God, but He will no longer trust in us.

We get the Government we deserve, and what we deserve.

Now, we need to apologize to our children and hope they forgive us.

I would not forgive us.

Products from Israel include some very fine kosher wines
Excellent chocolate
Chalk ( much of the chalk used in NYC schools)
very good fruit

I will buy some additional Israeli wine this week to make up for

My checking account is at Citibank, and I (sadly) own stock in the
company.
I am making my first visit to Arizona next March. (Scheduled a while
ago, but I certainly will not cancel it)
Wal-Mart has good prices on fishing gear.
If Domingo appears in an opera I want to see, then I will certainly
go. Don't know the "Dark Hope" reference.

But I am with you on BP and tea parties.

Paul

P.S. "We" did not kill 11 people in the Gulf of Mexico any more than
"we" killed the coal miners who died in an explosion in the mine. I am
angry about the corporate greed and carelessness that contributed to
this tragic accident, but do not feel the least bit guilty about it.

Renee Fleming has just released a poppish album called "Dark Hope"
which has not been well received in some circles; I'm guessing that
'DrECCA' is an unflattering reference to her

Dear Ed,
If you favor boycotting Placido Domingo how do you rationalize the
fact that you push the sale of over three-hundred pirated recordings
of his performances at your website?

Dear Ancona,
Stop trying to make trouble and keep picking at me. I did not publish
the original list. Go make trouble elsewhere already. I will post what
I want and you can post what you want. You are like an old broken
record on this subject and your ideology is all too well known, as is
your motives. I will not engage in your immature prattle which has
been going around on this very subject for years.

We have a similar problem, Ed. You can't resist trashing Placido
Domingo and I can't resist trashing you when you do it.

Ed:
I'm sorry, but with all due respect, A21's point here is well-taken.
If you really favor boycotting the entire list (of which Placido
Domingo) is part, how does selling 300 or so of Domingo's recordings
reconcile with that position?
Maybe you were just kidding, and don't really advocate boycotting
Domingo, in which case, I would withdraw my above comments.
Best,
Ken

What utter bullshit! Do you expect anybody to believe Domingo wasn't

superb and rare Richard Tucker photograph from your adoring eyes.

Tucker certainly exhibits all the machismo and physique of Gunther
Toody, on Car 54, Where are you?

-Owen, bet he could sing better than Gunther, though.

A propos #3, a few nights ago CBS News had a segment about the Arizona
businessman (helicopter manufacturer, IIRC) who has announced his
retaliatory boycott of West Coast seaports, rerouting his imports via
the Panama Canal to avoid them. Since the parts could just as well be
manufactured here, the only reason he's importing anything at all is
that he's EXPORTING American jobs to Korea. (So much for "patriotism"!)

Hear hear, Count! Sainthood may be some way off for him, but surely a
