I had high hopes of finding the start of "Donner Party Conservatives" here at FR, before I ran out of steam.
Like the renewed excitement upon finding an old Mena or Ron Brown thread, there is a satisfaction in finding a piece of lore. No, it's not the Holy Grail. It's naught but a fleeting whimsy on a silly subject. But at least it is fun, and funny, and it kept me (and no doubt a few others) entertained for a few hours. "Idle hands" and all that. But I'm not sure which side of the scale I fall, in that one. Hmmmm.
Howlin will ask deport later this morning.
And since you care so very much...go read EVERY SINGLE Cal. Gov. thread, NOW, for penance.
