Well you can't be all bad if you drink tequila.

Everybody has at least one redeeming quality.

Somebody *ping* me if they find the one that a 'rat has.

I am not trying to grasp for anything. Read my post to Miamivice.

I do however resent this holier-than-thou attitude and insulting criticism of Miamivice just because he was trying to help someone ( in this instance me).

If you want to find something unseemly that would be it.

There were several lawsuits. Livingstone was not specific.

Last week a caller from Kentucky complimented Sean, said he was doing Americans a service, then said he brought greetings from the posters on Free Republic--

Sean went immediately to another call without a syllable's response.

Hey,

I've done some stuff before too, but who cares, really.

If you wanted money or recognition, you should have farmed it out somewhere else.

Sure, FR will give you recognition. IMHO, that should be enough if you post it here.

But grandstanding, or having miamivice grandstand on your behalf is really beneath what this site stands for and is about.

There is no discernible way to prove hannity or his folks came across the info from here or on their own.

But even if they did read it here first, and then did their own research to confirm it, there really is nothing that prevents them from also doing the story.

This happens all the time. XYZ TV Station gets a scoop, reports a fire, or whatever, then ZYX TV station sends its reporter to the scene after seeing it on the other station.

No Big deal, and it is old information.

Next time, try to sell the story better yourself.

Regards,
Joe

This is probably why a Hannity producer read this. I am fairly certain they do google searches to learn what was written about them.

Like I said this is no big deal.

No need to ridicule Miamivice though. He or she was just trying make sure I got credit for something I wrote. It was nice of him or her to do it.

I don't know why some Freepers were getting apoplectic about what Miami was asking.

I've already found something unseemly in this thread, and it doesn't involve me.

I still wonder why that happened, hopefully someone here will have an explanation. I've always heard that he reads threads here and even that he may post here??

You are exactly roght. The idea is to market it better.
This is why I said earlier it is no big deal.

There may come a time that I determine that the cost of producing these pieces is not worth the reward. When that time comes I'll stop writing them. It may be sooner than later.

This is what capitalism is all about.

I still don't understand all the abuse of Miamivice. He or she was just doing something nice for a fellow freeper.

What is wrong with that?

OK

I'll admit I don't understand the canceled checks and 7-11 reference. ( I used to frequent 7-11 and the local Philly equivalent, Wawa, when I was a cop, working midnight to 8, during the summer. Used to buy an extralarge smoothie and nurse it all night. There were no places to buy something to eat during the AM in that district.)

What did Howie Dean just say to Combs about the Congressional Research Service came out today and said Blanco did everything right?

Anyone heard of that or did he make this up?

Here is what I found

The NLE currently posts 1504 CRS Reports on environmental and related topics.
New & Updated Reports

The Congressional Research Service (CRS), part of the Library of Congress, prepares its reports for the U.S. Congress. CRS products undergo review for accuracy and objectivity and contain nontechnical information that can be very useful to people interested in environmental policy. CRS does not itself provide these documents to the general public. Although CRS documents are prepared specifically for Congress and not widely distributed, their distribution is not protected by law or copyright. NCSE is committed to expanding, maintaining and updating its database of reports, making them available and searchable for the public.
