It occurs to me that *this* may the the last opportunity for Bruce to
pick up the coveted KotM ... being directly on the heels of, a possible impeachment. If so impeached; it would be a shame, if Bruce didn't have a KotM to go with the rest of his award winning collection for his mantlepiece. Not sporting, actually ... Thus, it thus gives me great pleasure to nominate Michael Baldwin Bruce as ' Kook of the Month', Febuary 2006. Proof? IMO, http://tinyurl.com/k69qj in alt.support.autism is a MoCJ, solo 'lassic.
