I hope some reporter asks Baby Bush if he will bring back the draft
This question needs to be asked. If some reporter has the courage to ask it, Baby Bush will give a stumbling, rambling denial, but it may stimulate a real national debate on the issue in the mainstream media. Right now, the only real discussion of the draft coming back is taking place over the Internet. Still, I won't be watching the news conference. I have better things to do. He's not my president. Al Gore is my president.

2. That will happen when "swine fly"
* is speaking for 18 minutes and the press has 12 minutes to ask questions. I figure about two reporters will get to ask anything.

3. He'll just lie
It comes easily enough to him. Remember "no plans on my desk" before his vacation in 2002, and DANGER! SADDAM! TERROR! when he got back?
