Not a winning combination.<BR/><BR/>This descent into dreck began well before Ms. Cox departed; she was much like Maureen Dowd in attempting to apply her own special brand of witticisms (increasingly stale anatomical references) to serious topics. The expiration date for her sort of "blogging" was measured in weeks.

Radar's bitchiness in this respect is like me referring to Mr. Last as someone who was a former team member at McDonald's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
