You are so smart, Park. I thought that some might think it was Dubya.

I would be very surprised if anyone on this board hasn't been guilty of minor grammatical errors like that. That's the case especially with me , as I occasionally fail to get my nouns and verbs to agree, especially when speaking extemporaneously in front of a crowd. Besides, unlike the above quote, President Bush's statement meant something and wasn't merely tautological. |

That would be a much too sophisticated thought for Sarah.
