Well, you're showing promise...

Seriesly, spend more time in the discussions learning- yes this is a place to come learn. You'll sharpen your wit and focus your perception. With all due respect to Rush this is the conservative school that you never graduate from.

My fav would be something like:"Well let's get to business. What racist attacks on my policies do we need to respond to today?"

Thanks for the input :-)

It’s appreciated.

" With all due respect to Rush this is the conservative school that you never graduate from."

I cannot count the times I've read the articles that interest me on FR and then while driving to work heard Rush on the radio mention the same articles.

Not only does he mention the same ones, but it's noticeable that they are in roughly the same order they appeared on the Forum. I'm sure Rush does not sit by his computer copying from FR, but I bet there's someone on his staff that's at least heavily lurking here.

"Well, you're showing promise... Seriesly, spend more time in the discussions learning- yes this is a place to come learn."

I wish that all the bloggers who post on FR had the same great attitude that Jared at The Looking Spoon does. He posts his work in full, with links where appropriate, and has shown that he wants to be in on the discussions and add to the community.

Too many others seem to want to use this forum just to "pimp for hits." They could all take a lesson from this guy. Some of his works are real gems, others less so, but at least he's really putting forth an honest effort.

Thanks for setting a great example!
