ok more details now…Haig wrongly declared himself the acting President when Reagan was shot. The Hague Tribunal is wrongly pretending it can lead its political supporters by their noses. And William Hague wrongly assumed in 1997 that winning the UK Tory leadership election would mean the Tories were going to supinely accept him as their leader.
Actually Gen Haig never declared himself president. He went on TV to assure the American public that their goverment was still functioning. I know because I spoke with him and knew the man before this event occurred. My father worked closely with him when he was NATO Supreme Commander and he was an occassional guest in our home. Gen Haig was a man of honor who was hated and feared by the leftist media.
I shall now invoke my fellow commenters’ input now since there’s no sign from Steve about the details of the prize as yet. Please vote on the below:
(a) 10,000$ cash
(b) 1,000$ ETS credits
(c) 100$ dinner with Tamino, John Cook and Martha
(d) 10$ coffee with Gavin
(e) My face pasted for a week in the top banner in place of Toto’s
(f) Other (please specify)
The Hague, William Hague, Haig
as in…Alexander Haig
Winner!
Hopefully the prize won’t be a dinner with Tamino or something? ;-S
Damn Maurizio… I had another hag in mind http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=julia+gillard+photo&qpvt=julia+gillard+photo&FORM=IGRE
Wonder if I can get special mention!

True, and what he did, was right, just not correct.
That whole thing was about Tip O’Neill getting his panties in a bunch (ewww, what a thought!).
A lot of people forget that the SoS is right up there in order of succession (after VP, Speaker, Senate PT).
Yes they were scared of Haig, but just look who is in that slot now … Madame Hillary!
Maurizio is good.
I never had a chance.
I guess I’m either missing the significance of the arrows, or my browser isn’t playing ball
Dave, you were probably like me just looking at the single post and puzzling over it.
The arrows were pointing to the previous posts on the home page.
That explains it.. I view posts from the news feed, never from the home page.
I’m with you Dave. Dontcha hate it when games of others just fly by over our heads.
O.T. Seems there is a new avenue for research dollars.
