What was that lie about Steven Hawking the US right wing extremists were
spouting that's already come back and bit them in the ass?


That was rather amusing. Almost as good as Hilary under sniper fire in
Bosnia. Easy mistakes for people to make, after all you can't expect
Americans to know Hawking is British or Hilary to know whether she had
been shot at.

My point is people lie. One side of the political spectrum is no
better or worse than the other.
