And?

By the way, you might want to read the whole article you posted where it pretty clearly says he's been on the board since 1992.

Wow. Guess not even the Waltons can oppose the Trilateral Commission.

Actually, speaking of dead guys, can anyone tell me why the flags at my local military post are flying at half-mast? After that post the other day, I thought it might have been Dick Cheney.
