Strange life experiences

Today Carolina and I had lunch with a CEO/President of a very large office supply company (and some others in Columbia) and the Columbian Military Attache to Chile and drank out of wine glasses with "Presidente Pinochet 1973-1990" printed under his visage. Carolina was served rabbit which apparently this CEO eats every day with different people.

The guy I chatted with thought that the states had not given Bush the chance to govern.

Strange world.

to respond to the guy who said that the states have not given bush a chance to govern, did you:

1) politely ask him to explain what he meant, pointing out that this president has had the widest latitude to govern of any president in recent memory, and where he felt he was encumbered, just acted however he felt

or

2) spit your glass of wine in a double take, and said "Whaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhht?????"

I think my eyes got wide. Later I told him that the republicans have total power in the states - that Bush's problem, I don't think, was becuase of a lack of ability to govern.

our little discussion of Bush kindof ended our chat overall - but he was a polite and nice enough man.
