the "perception gap?" Dems think they have a perception gap? Hahahahaha - They just think we're all so stupid. The problem is us - we don't "get" them. Heck, the American people "get" them just fine - it's not a perception gap, it's a rejection gap - and the dems are the ones who don't "get" it.

I'm in Chicago this week - It's the coldest it's been all winter. Yesterday and this morning the wind was atrocious - you should have seen the waves on Lake Michigan. Man, I'd forgotten what winter is like! We haven't had much winter this year so of course it had to show up when I'm in nylons and a skirt. Go figure.

The town is talking about the murder of a federal judge's husband and mother Monday. It's a terrible thing - they were shot dead in the basement of the Judge's home. Chicago is seriously disturbed, as it should be. The police were checking out manholes in the area to see if the gun had been pitched down them. The judge is in an undisclosed location.

A wacko white supremacist (I know, that's redundant) who has been convicted of attempting to have the judge murdered, is the chief suspect, altho he's in jail awaiting sentencing (which comes later this month). I think the police know more than they're currently saying about evidence they found at the scene. Things are very tense here.

And that's the low-down from Second City.

The Dems started this refrain right after the election - if only they'd better communicated their message, Kerry would have won in a landslide. As you said, we all got the message as to their real agenda, their real beliefs loud and clear. Now the Dems are whining about people in other Middle Eastern countries wanting to have the kind of freedom they're seeing in Iraq. I say, keep it up. We're getting that message - that liberals hate freedom - just fine.

On a happier note:

Trying to figure out dems is making me batty. They can't really believe their "we can't get our message out" propaganda,,, can they?

The murder of the Chicago judge's husband and mother are just awful. Chris Matthews did a rather sympathetic interview with Matt Hale's mother, (1st interview) it was very creepy.

it had to show up when I'm in nylons and a skirt.

Btw, I hope your knees have thawed out by now, brrrrrrrrrr!
