RE - Sonny On The Beach: So if we keep looking long enough we'll find not necessarily a soul mate, but something in common with those who seek to govern us? I need to check with Marx on this one.

Pardon... meant Saxby On The Beach. But I now feel confident, thanks to the eager beavers at CL, that Sonny too loves the sand and the surf as well as the next Georgia boy.
Sonn'y jetting off for Spain this weekend. Honestly. Don't know if he's hitting the surf, though.
