              The lyrics from a Queen song come to mind:

              Another one bites the dust

              Another one bites the dust

              And another one gone, and another one gone

              Another one bites the dust

              Hey, Im gonna get you too

              Another one bites the dust

                  Brillian how they used an actor to pose as the leader! Reminds me of a Philip K. Dick story.

                          I can't put a lot of faith in anything Senator George Voinovich says. Sorry but he is an unqualified man that needs to retire. He voted on the immigration bill and didn't realize it has been defeated. He didn't read the bill. A live interview at this site.

                              DR. LAURA is the proud mother of a US soldier. She is proud she has enough political influence to keep her son deployed in Japan!

                              tune in to hear her say: HOO-YAH!
