Wish I could come Andrew, bring back details for me. It's hard out here in the Bx.
Name names... I want the blogger... Salon huh? I'll take care of it.
If Curtis is still around... tell him we love him.
I need a podcast or link of your last show discussing abortion... I told everyone at church they should've heard it... that's the way it should be done.
The country is in sad shape indeed if all we can get is the liberal Giuliani as a Republican candidate for President. I will vote Libertarian before I vote for him.
considering, from what I understand, this is very poor showing for Frist - who packed the hall with 'his' people!
