This column's not due to be filed until Friday. But it's done, and I have other urgent matters to get to. So here 'tis.

Lemme know what you think.

[Congressman Billybob]

I usta ping ma columns ta three er four people who's got ping lists ov their own. With the change, how does I git the word out ta the key folks?

Lemme know.

I'm auboy and I approve this message.

As my pappy used to say, "you done good, real good." But you must make time for some R & R.:-)

Excellant, as usual, John.

You could ask Howlin to put this on her ping list. I am still getting pings. It is *bump lists* which have changed, AFAIK.

I think this whole event was a waste of time and money. I learned absolutely nothing new.

President Bush is still their face of evil and this bunch and their worldly friends would have the terrorists talked into a truce in a matter of days, "IF" they can just get rid of President Bush.

Where is my tax increase?????

JFKerry has finally reported for duty, to do what that is still "secret".

Clintons still run the DNC gang and the whole bunch is brain dead, and on life support.

Enough to make one cry.


You must have a stomach of steel to have spent all those hours listening to the bellying aching of liberal/progressive/socialist/communist Americans.

Toast to you!

"Yep, there were a whole lot of very short and very bad speeches given at this Convention, and I listened to every last one of them, except when I was on the air with Jerry. Or when I stopped to beat my head against the wall for a few minutes of relief."

LOL, me too, but unlike you I didn't write down their names.

Excellent so far. Just had to stop there to comment on that sentiment. You were a valuable contrubution to those live Democn threads. I will now resume reading the article.

I think that, no matter what you majored in at Yale, you must have minored in masochism. Geez, you listened to that WHOLE bloodyawful mess? Yeeeesh.

"I'm auboy and I approve this message."


LOL, I wish that somebody in their campaign would say "I McCain/Feingold this message.

[cake_crumb]

Darn that was good. You obviously abstained from taking a shot **every time** Vietnam was mentioned or have an admirable tolorance for alcohol. Anyhow, it was very good. Your observations and insights are excellent as always, and you paid attention to deatils that most of us either missed or forgot.

I almost...ALMOST...want to go to C Span and replay some of those early speeches, as you suggested. But my eyes glaze over, my hands shake and I rememebr important business elsewhere whenever I think of actually, seriously, going over there to do it.

Thank you for having the courage and fortitude to subject yourself to that excruciating fiasco and actually paying attention to ALL the details.

[cake_crumb]

We certainly never heard ONE suggestion of just exactly WHAT they would do that's different than the Bush administration has done.

[upchuck]

OK, I'll bite... what does your tag line mean?

bttt

That was pretty bad for the main meal, but desert is coming and looks delicious.

I look forward to your report on the roof raiser to be delivered by Zell Miller.

[not_apathetic_anymore]

Mega respect for enduring all of the palavering. Because people like you that endured the duty, I say proudly I didn't watch one second of the convention. My fragile state of sanity thanks you:)

It's a trade in options on March NYMEX Natural Gas. For a complete description of the trade, and the rationale behind it, see: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1177773/posts

Sorry, it's post #17 in that thread. (memory is the second thing to go, and I can't recall the first...)

[cajungirl]

very very good. I like the fact that you among very few make the distinction between health care and insurance. You would think that people were being turned away from hospitals and clinics daily. I have always been intrigued by the "right to health care regardless of ability or willingness to pay" and the right of a Doc or hospital to be paid for services rendered.

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!!!
Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

[auboy]

I wish that somebody in their campaign would say "I McCain/Feingold this message.

Me, too.

If you need to introduce yourself, you are wasting time and money. OTOH, reintroductions are perfectly okay.:-)
