Here's a special **ping** just for you.

Luis my friend, you have a knack for pushing the right buttons, whether with your own writing, or a wisely selected topic. In either event, you rarely, if ever, disappoint.

My time has been limited recently, for reasons you understand, so I have not read all of the posts on this topic, but I will. Now, as you wish, let me tell the the reader that billhilly was what I chose as my screen name when I finally signed up with FR in 2000. I had followed the site since soon after its inception. My real name is David Ward Henderson, and I am the Dave Henderson referred to in Byron York's Atlantic Monthly article. Billhilly was often mistaken, as I intended it to be, for hillbilly. After all, it was the first names of two of our most prominent hillbillies, Bill and Hillary Clinton. OK, I apologize to all of my true hillbilly friends. My Kentucky upbringing gives me liscense.

Thanks for the bump. A very interesting article. It mirrors some of my thoughts of a conservative intellectual elite that think they should not only run the idealogy of the movement but the players, candidates and nation as well!

An enlightening perspective.
