Some achieve this through muscle (if you ain't a Mason, boy, you ain't workin' in this town), some through Dale Carnegie (well, mizz Smith, I sure do hope I can count on you in this month's election. I declare, your apple pie is just like my mama's.)
You and I are on the same page on this one.

The plain fact is that anyone who believes Clinton is telling the truth is too dense to realize that anything that does you any good is either:

a) doing him a whole lot more good or;
b) not really doing you any good in the first place.

Are you still a resident of the South? We may be neighbors.
