1. Now you know why Bush was giving her a shoulder rub. This is like
Raygun and Margaret Thatcher.

Who, in terms of reliability, rate somewhere between David Icke and the mad woman down my street who screams a lot and makes her own meth.

3. I'm sorry, I forgot the link
http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/01/30/ap3376567.html

It's not just Pravda that's reporting it (I'm just as suspicious as you of that rag). But a Google search showed it on Forbes, Business Week, Yahoo News, etc. Sorry bout that.
