But there was and is a lot of post audit cleanup, if you know what I mean:^)
Didn’t follow all the topics you covered recently, but noted two important ones to which I would like to respond:
Rosie Cotton: So sorry to hear of your layoff. That is never easy or pretty, but just try to think of it as God’s way of saying that you’re ready for something better! And I’m praying something better will be coming down the pike for you soon. A quote for you from Thoreau: “We must walk consciously only partway toward our goal, then leap in the dark to our success.”
Carton253: Smeagol! I was very dismayed by the way your professor treated you in that class, but very proud of you for saying your piece and having the courage of your convictions. Keep up the good fight, don’t compromise what you know to be true, and consider the bloody noses you get along the way as your “red badges of courage”. You’ll come out a tougher debater for it, and I bet there were a few others in the class who were impressed with your performance and wish they had the guts to go toe to toe like you did. Quoting El Cid, (of all people!), “To conquer without risk is to triumph without glory”
Also, I have to indulge in a little Minnesota rant: The death of Paul Wellstone and family, etc. was a great tragedy. It’s not the way anyone wanted the campaign to end. I am very sad for his family and his supporters. I wanted Norm Coleman to win fair and square. But the sickening display of martyr worship that is taking place here is absolutely disgusting. That “memorial service” was an absolute travesty (and was covered excellently on other FR threads). And I can’t believe that we are having Walter Mondull shoved down our throats. I am so furious about the whole situation. I’m doing my part to support Coleman and praying that Minnesotans will be smart enough to see that a tired old half dead retread has-been like Mondull has no place representing us. But I’m afraid he and “they” might pull it off. I’m hoping to go see President Bush at a Coleman rally this Sunday…. There is still hope…..
And now, to get really serious, I’m getting hungry for a precious again….. Has anyone seen one around here?
