You're only a rookie the first year.
Therefore, it's possible to not be a rookie but still be a newb.
Got it ?
But you're a reg'lar now, so relax

Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.
Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!
Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.
They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.
The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.
Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.
To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!
That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.
abc just said only about 1000 Pro-war supporters are in crawford.
they say that the # of sheehan supporters are growing.
"this will end the war in Iraq" from one of the looney left.
bla bla bla bush on vacation, cindy to take the battle to house/senate leaders homes next.
I feel the same way. Our son followed the I.D. into Iraq on the first day of the war, blew through Baghdad to Balad. I wish I could have been in Crawford today, but I'm in Alaska, and it's a long way from here to there. I'm with them all in spirit though and it brings tears to my eyes to see the support our troops and our President are receiving right now. I just wish our troops could be seeing this on the news too. Maybe some of them have caught it on CNN, or MSNBC, and shame on Fox. Hopefully they will cover this story indepth at some point.
No, I could see if I can find out!
To be fair, the Beltway Boys is pre-filmed. It isn't live, it wasn't even taped earlier today.

Re: picture of Surrender Woman in her big tent:
Oh My goodness! I thought at first she had split into two.
shouldn't do that--it makes their group look twice as big as it actually is.
I've sent TWO emails to FoxNews and others have...soon after Greg Kelley reported from Crawford, TX.
They sounded to me like they were downplaying it.

I think you are right! I wondered if that may have been staged!
I have a hunch it will be sooner rather than later when the Florida primary campaign heats up.
Bon apetit!
