Reminds me of my experience dealing with the checkout at Incredible Connection. [huffers]

Conrad Black Is My Hero – If I were a novel-writing sort, I would consider Black as a worthy character—not because of his fall, but because, even at 65 (in a sense, because he is only 65), he is bound to start again. Now Black is not a sympathetic figure (he and I have, on occasion, exchanged public insults and invective—without, I assume, actual rancor). Foolish, pompous, comical—even his supporters titter behind his back—he was one of the greatest social climbers of our time. [michaelwolff]
