1. Thanks. I never want to go to any site having anything to do with

the freaks. Now I have to take a bath! I feel so dirty!!!

2. According to "Time" magazine there are 500 executive orders

Apparently they are not all listed.

3. These are only for George W. Bush, maybe that's a cumulative

for all EO's.

5. Reagan had about 80. Clinton around 105. junior signed over 500.

In last issue of "Time"

6. What is the deeper meaning of this order?

If the martians landed and blew up Congress, for example, would this provide for a "friends of Bush" consolidation of power?

How does this apply outside of this list? Where does it lie in regard to the established powers?

8. I have no idea, but I did compare it to the Clinton one that this

replaced. It seems like Shrub just deleted a few positions but kept the order the same. One position was something like Deputy Secretary of DOD technology. I guess he eliminated that spot so had to redo the order of succession.

10. Ah, I must be thinking of another order, something half-remembered

from another conversation.

Just trying to keep track of all of the dominoes they're setting up on the quest for ultimate control.
