Sheila Bair was among those mentioned by the Great Mentioner as possible candidates for Treasury Secretary in the Obama administration. I suspect her little adventure with Wachovia put the damper on that. During the Bush administration? Yep. Permanent beltway fixtures don't much care which party won the election as long as it doesn't throw them out of work. I wonder if you guys ever got "Yes Minister" down there in 'merica.

Cheers Martin Oh, yes, we get lots of "Britcoms." Used to have to see them on PBS (Public Broadcasting), but now with satellite TV we can watch them on BBC America. Been ages since I've seen "Yes Minister," or "Yes Prime Minister," though. |

I've been serving Her Majesty for thirty years, the show is not that far of, the real power lies with Assistant Deputy Ministers, folks that generally remain when the Government changes. These are the people who cna make or break a Deputy Minsister...... somewhat like a good RSM, the real God on any base. Cheers Martin |

I still do that from time to time. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com I liked Sea Hunt, Flipper, and anything else that had boats in it. But my favorite was Diver Dan. Loved the gangster fish that had a ciggie hanging out of his mouth. Did Diver Dan get his boot stuck in a giant clam in nearly every episode, or is it just that it made such an impression on my toddler brain? I used to watch that show before I took the bus to my grade school. I think you're about right. I loved that show too. There was a big barracuda. Was that the gangster fish? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com Ya, the barracuda and his sidekick/henchman -- a trigger fish, I think. Heh.. that's it. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
