Negative spin
Scooter
For anybody who has followed the news about Mr. Libby.
David Brooks in The New York Times:
‘Three years ago I said some pessimistic things on TV about the war in Iraq. Scooter Libby called the next day. Methodically, though with a touch of wryness in his voice, he ran down a list of the hopeful developments he thought I was ignoring. Then as we were signing off, he interrupted himself and said: “Anyway, that’s the positive spin. I can do the negative spin just as well.”’
A great quote: “I can do the negative spin just as well.”
I don’t want to brag about my talents, but man, give me any subject, from Jesus to New Zealand, and I give you the negative spin.

i request the negative spin on helping abused children.
I believe it's the next best taboo: abused children.
I think I am not so bad with negative spins either, as once I even provoked – unintentionally -a Witness of Jehovah into a rage, a quite remarkable achievement if you ask me.
PS. Dens, I can join you, my sympathy; although that does not mean a lot.

You can join me in what, Jan Thys, sympathy for what? If it is what i think it is, mail me, otherwise, just tell me.
