Agree!! I think this is quite likely (yikes!)

It's sadly ironic that I'm having to hope at this point, that Ari doesn't garner too much support...and split the 'non-FU' vote. :\

"Talks a lot but says very little" *is* a well-known English idiom - suggest you look it up, hmmm? Interestingly, it is actually Webster Dictionary's definition for "windbag". I exonerate Olivia of being a windbag, however - she's not merely talking with no substance. She does have an...

Thanks! And no worries about the quote...am pecking away left-handed since I managed to bust my right wrist. The typos can be something else :) Am queuing up Fahrenheit 911 for watching; appreciate the recommendation. :D

Despite your well-laid-out list of similarities, I'm still grappling with the comparison of the Fords to either of the US clans mentioned. The mind boggles at the thought of the Fords on the national stage, let alone the world stage. Just not in the same league as either multiple-POTUS...

Okey doke :)

Yes, that's right! You too?

Beaut!! :) Hey, we added a bat. TOTAL game-changer. ;D 'Struth!!
