[Vision2020] Burkett

[Tom]

Seems to me that Mr. Frink is using an old campaigning (but unfortunately 
effective) concept:

"If you can't impress them with facts, dazzle them with bull s**t."

Just tossing in my two cents.  And I do want my two cents back.  After all 
these are the Bush years.

Vote Hamlett

See you at the polls.
