All right finally Arehta and a little R E S P E C T. Maybe it will run off on the rest of the world. Otherwise there will be a lot of barefooted reporters.

How about a very ,very modest celebration. AND then refund the rest of the alloted money to rest of us so we can do something useful with it.
These things have been getting more & more over blown every four years.
