They are so busy infighting they might not even notice.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-55124465618082508662008-10-20T20:26:00.000+01:002008-10-20T20:26:00.000+01:00Anatole is stuck in a 1960s timewarp.Anatole is stuck in a 1960s timewarp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-57319447741535640342008-10-20T20:20:00.000+01:002008-10-20T20:20:00.000+01:00I was shocked by the turnaround - one day he was h...I was shocked by the turnaround - one day he was happy, the next he was sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-16673685134857303172008-10-20T20:14:00.000+01:002008-10-20T20:14:00.000+01:00Anatole is a clown.Anatole is a clown.Nick von Miseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985951853422897135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-3948094021151774822008-10-20T18:27:00.000+01:002008-10-20T18:27:00.000+01:00Rule 1: Never listen to Kaletsky.
