Just read your home page -- WOW! Another one bites the dust! (I spent 33 years in a very blue lib city, Philadelphia, with no one to talk to who was actually informed about politics). Kudos to you for reading the heavyweights like Horowitz. You would love
Orianna Fallaci's The Rage and the Pride. Prayers up for your Marine cousins Nicky and Derek in Thailand.
You do me great honor, and thank you on behalf of Derek and Nic, sons of a NYC policeman who is married to my cousin. He and I used to disagree, but 9/11 brought me to my senses.
I lived in Philly for about ten years (before I married and moved to NY) and could swap many horror stories with you (Wilson Goode years..)!
And thanks for the reading recommend..I hear Fallaci got into some trouble for being politically incorrect..sounds like a winner to me! Blessings, Ari
