Is this the Belgian Pie-guy who nailed Gates? I read that he and his cohorts yell "Gloop, Gloop!" as they dispense pies.

Maybe people have done this, but I wish someone in Congress would follow up one of his answers with "Can you be a little more specific?" and then follow up the next answer with "You're still being ambiguous, let's try a little harder now shall we?" and then "better, but I think you can still do better than that."

Questions for Alan Greenspan: Chairman Greenspan, I have to say I've been extremely impressed by your handling of the economy during your tenure. I don't think many people would disagree with the statement that this economic boom we've been experiencing is due in large part to the Fed's management of the economy and Clinton's decesion to keep you on as Chariman of the Federal Reserve was by far the best decision he has made in his political career. There is one thing, though, that inquiring minds want to know: do you think Ayn Rand is hot? Hot as say Marilyn Quayle?
