rs with countries that, until we attacked them, had
no history of producing anti-American terrorists.
Some lefties (and paleo-conservatives like me) argue that Bush 43 is the
worst president ever. I don't happen to think so, I'd say he's probably one
of the five worst but he can't compare to some of the real stinkers. Martin
van Buren (though a superb secretary of state) was a disaster, McKinley our
first taster of imperium, but for me by far the worst president ever was
Woodrow Wilson, who discarded the Monroe Doctrine, manipulated us into WW
I, and helped fashion the stupendously idiotic treaty at Versailles that
all but demanded another great European war. It shows what a bastard he was
that I didn't even get around to his support for the KKK and anti-semitism
in one sentence. Nevertheless, the worst thing he did was create the language
and thought processes that have been used ever since to make Americans think
our country is somehow more than just another country in the world, prone
to the same kinds of mistakes and missteps that the rest of history is littered
with. European writers call it 'American exceptionalism' and Wilson provided
the crucial vocabulary to make it possible. GW Bush's speeches these days
sound like Wilson carefully rewritten for someone with major problems speaking
in public. All of which is a warmup to another article by a Wilson hating
paleo-conservative. This from Bill Lind, who puts the paleo in paleo-conservative
and openly refers to himself as a monarchist. Just a little 'outside the
box' thinking on Iraq.

>Hello NG,
Anyone want to chime in on the PreSonus Eureka mic pre/compressor/EQ? GC
has one for $500.00. This seems real close to what I want. Class A, single
space, single channel, clean, minimal coloration with compressor under $1K.
Primarily for vox (I'm looking for a bit more warmth and a bit less
brittle/harshness and soft knee comp) but I've read it works pretty good as
a DI for bass guitar too. I've read that they have some pretty top notch
gear for the price. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys and
gals. WayneRich,
I have an Nvidia dual monitor card I think in the 5400 series. One output
is analog, one is digital. Anyhow, I had problems with the digital side but
I thought it was my monitors because my Dell 2001FP x 2 each have a digital
input and an analog input. Each monitor worked in both modes for awhile
then slowly each monitor failed on the digital input side. Short answer is.
I went to fry's and bought an adapter that plug'd into the Nvidia cards
digital output and (I don't know how it works) and then plug'd the analog
cable in it to my monitor. I did nothing new software wise, and selected
analog on both monitors and it has been working fine for two years. Hope
this helps. Wayne
