Every time clinton would answer questions at the end of his second reign of terror inevitably he would work a 'it was a lot of fun' into at least one answer. It turned my stomach, each and every time.

The other phrase x42 would use that made me retch was "I've worked so hard for the American people."

Wow, I am watching the Fallujah strike on Fox News. Awesome. And it's about time...

Well, girl, hold on to your hat. You're gonna love this one!

Have you been on any of the threads about Kerry's medals? I've spent some time over there and they're all over the place, but one inconsistency kept jumping out at me.

So a little while ago I sent this email to Patrick Healy, the Boston Globe reporter who's been covering Kerry for years (and doesn't like him):

Dear Mr. Healy,
I've come across something I don't understand and would appreciate you're clearing it up. Given the current issue over Senator Kerry's "medal toss" this may be important. Please understand...I am not demeaning Kerry's valor in any way. I honor his willingness to serve in a very difficult conflict.
I was looking at the military records on his website and I noticed that John Lehman had signed his Silver Star citation. Kerry served in Viet Nam in 1968-69. His original Silver Star citation was signed by Admiral Zumwalt, but it was not among the documents Kerry put on his website. (I provide links below for these documents). Kerry did post two Silver Star citations, one signed by Admiral John Hyland and another one signed by John Lehman, Secretary of the Navy. All are undated.
But John Lehman was Secretary of the Navy from February, 1981 to April, 1987 (concurrent with the time Kerry was changing his story about his "medal toss"). Why would Lehman have signed the last citation? Maybe Kerry applied for replacement medals? (Still, wouldn't Kerry have used his original citation(s) signed by Zumwalt or Hyland? Unless he'd lost them?). See what I mean? This makes no sense.
The language of the various documents is only slightly different. The only explanation I can think of for Lehman's signature is that Kerry applied for replacement medals. If that's the case, he has more questions to answer today.

Well, you never think they're really going to read these long emails. But, surprise! HE WROTE ME BACK WITHIN 20 MINUTES:

Dear______, thanks for writing. This is interesting; I don't have an explanation for it. Will look into -- thanks, Pat

Woooo Hoooo! Keep an eye on the Globe!
