Thank you all very much for your kind and gracious words, and I'm delighted that you've found it to be worthwhile  :-)

I am under 45 yrs old, love the outdoors, hunt, am a republican reformer, have taken on the republican establishment, have many children, have a spot on the national ticket as VP with less than 2 yrs in the governor’s office. Who am I? Teddy Roosevelt, of course.

Someone needs to remind most American 'journalists' of this well-established fact.  Unfortunately, most are merely Democrat operatives and so are, by definition, disinterested in facts.

Looks like Rupert Murdoch approves ?

Apparently so...no complaints here.

Man, that one made me chuckle. I could just imagine politicians and bureaucrats getting up before dawn everyday to catch up on the graft. Turns out to be a britishism for "hard working".....

I've always found British colloquialisms and slang to be captivating, and the Sun uses them frequently.  In my view they provide an insight into a rich and vibrant culture and also serve as a nice reminder of where the story comes from....all good as far as I'm concerned   :-)

Agreed, although I think that for a lot of Americans, her lifestyle and ethics aren't a throwback at all, but merely normal everyday life....and I think the number of those people is FAR greater than the Left would like to acknowledge.

In November, we will be seeing ALL of those folks happily coming out of the valleys and down from the mountains to LEGALLY vote for the candidate of their choice, and my guess is that it won't be for the guys who think that Government, and a Government that embraces Socialism,  is the answer to everything.
