Translation: Considering that a conservative Republican President is 
currently in office, I will take this opportunity to spout this silly 
political tripe at every opportunity, regardless of the pleas of my 
fellow list members. Of course, as soon as a liberal Democratic President 
takes office in 2008 I will quietly ignore his or her continuation of all 
the very same policies that I disagree with now, just as I have quietly 
forgotten about the policies of those who came before. And I will be a 
vocal opponent of any political discussion on the list when die hard 
conservatives take potshots at the new President.

For the love of God, let it go Aaron! Partisan politics will be the 
downfall of this country. Please don't let it be the downfall of this 
list.
