"Mr. Bush is often at his best in such situations and is typically greeted warmly."

I think the "Journeys With George" filmmaker-- Nancy Pelosi's daughter-- said that W is pretty charismatic in person.  Though I talked to someone today who went to an event where he was present, and he said just the opposite:  That Reagan or Clinton would just take over the room, but that Bush just sort of sulked off at his table like a fart.

We had "Town officials have been looking at pornography lately..." [as they consider a ban on its sale] leading off the local paper a while ago. (The ban, proposed jointly by the 18-year-old douchebag town councilman and a crazy lady who claimed that pornography led to abortion, the greatest evil known to society, did not pass. They claimed victory after getting it moved to a different shelf at FYE.)
