  Yeah, I didn't do the best job of citing references--sorry about that.  I'm
at work now, so I can't give you the titles at the moment, but I didn't want
you to think I was ignoring you, either!  Next time I log on from home I'll
follow this posting with more information.

  That parallels my view of Rush, as a matter of fact, and I certainly
wouldn't claim that Rush is wholly without merit or that he's not funny,
either.  Franken is, for my money, the funniest (intentionally funny, that is;
not just good for comic relief!) and best-informed Liberal social comic at the
moment.
