Yes, yours was as spot-on as mine.
But mine was knowing satire.
There are tons of pro-Kerry submissions in the news that surely don't meet this "National Enquirer" test of public utility you are offering. It's a valid theory until you examine how they treat
both sides.

And is it all that much of a suprise that Howard's party won? I could swear that the Economist ran an article a few weeks ago about the fact that he was leading by a pretty good margin, and that his opponent was regared as an inexperienced lightweight.

It was my impression that Howard was looking dead for several weeks prior.
