You are so right Art. I still read a pubication from the UK called 
"Private Eye" which loosely follows in the footsteps of the 19th century 
"Punch" - they "extract the Michael" out of politicians, Royalty or 
anyone who risks putting his head above the trench. Apart from being a 
lot of fun it forces people in power to look at themselves and consider. 
Long may it continue and a plague on you PC wallahs. Just beause you 
don't do it nobody else can. May your toes curl frequently.
