I like that graphic, especially since The Hunt for Red October was on earlier today! ;-)

I'm glad you like it. I made the bumper sticker myself in PowerPoint.

I have a pre-publication copy of Hunt for Red Oktober (Охота Красного октября). I got to read it before it went on sale.

It about the only movie that I can watch with Alec Baldwin and not barf.

When I did the advanced Intelligence Officer course in the Navy, one of the instructors delivered a line much like Fred Thompson's famous "Son, the Russians don't take a dump without a plan" line.

I wish I could listen to the interview, but on dial-up and it would take forever to load. Do you know if there is a transcript of the interview? Sure love to read it! :)

He seems to be casually NOT running.

This is the

segment of the Hannity interview I couldn't find, where he talks about seeing the sonogram of his little daughter

The McLaughlin Group did a little segment on Fred .. shows him in his western hat, at the gun range!

Good stuff. Absolute sincerity, absolute genuineness -- and not just because he's an actor; some things you just can't fake.

I think his campaign slogan should be:

FRED:
WYSIWYG

So far, he is my guy. He says he is tuned in to the internet; dare we hope he reads FR and gets our feelings for this run? He could be JUST what this country needs. I love how he says he is making an end run around the Beltway people.

Loved how he responded to the question about dirty tricks and the rough side of politics by saying that it is not his first rodeo.

Also liked him saying how he would only get in this if he could win in November. “I have no desire to be the tallest midget in the room” or something like that. LOL.

Run, Fred, Run.

Thanks. I am enamored of Fred at this point. I did not even know he has a three-year-old daughter. Any photos of him with her? How sweet.
