I'm not sure but one of my favorite all time excerpts from Steve's books is the opening to _Yendi_ in which Vlad riffs on Kragar saying "Life is like an onion" in terms of the different Houses. It ends with something along the lines of: <The Jhereg don't care teckla droppings about bad spots. We're just here to sell onions.> I'd say Perot and Limbaugh are probably Orca and Yendi respectively. Based on the same opening, I'd probably agree with Andrew Bailey when he wrote: > I see springer more as a Hawk. <See the spot, watch you cook and eat it and then shrug and say you didn't ask when you spit it out> Casey
