Dear FR friend, please accept my sympathies for the loss of your brotherin-law, and convey them to your wife, his sister.

He sounds like a wonderful human being. How wonderful that he was able to escape the USSR and have some years of happiness and freedom.

It's like spoiled mentally deficient children wanting a "turn" at an enclusively adult and sober, deadly serious business.

You've nailed it.

The weekend news cycle is now so vile that I can no longer stomach it.

The one ray of light is that there still remains a plurality of common-sense Americans who get what is at stake. Despite all the spin by the Leftist Mediacrats, there is a center that is still holding firm. This would not have been possible without alternative sources of information and analysis like FR, Talk Radio and Fox News. AS VDH states

This fight for the future of Iraq is turning out to be for more than a referendum on democracy in the Middle East, but rather a trial of our own culture here at home.

Vietnam era had an information monopoly. No more, thanks to the Talk Radio and the Internet. I think it is the key difference.

take a deep breadth

"breadth"????

Very unlike VDH to have a typo. I see it has been fixed on his website now.

That concievably could be my mistaske.

I don't cut and past from the web page to FR, I first download to my word processor and reformat to suit myself — changing all hyphens, double hyphens, etc, to M dashes flanked by spaces.

I also standardize the capitalization of headlines, omit capitalization at the beginning of paragraphs and do a number of other things to make the articles — all of which I keep in an archive — more pleasing to my eye.

So the misspelling may not have been Hanson's fault.

No, I think it might have been VDH's boo-boo. If you look at Post 9, upchuck posted the entire article, and probably just did a cut and paste from the original, and it says "breadth." No big deal...

May your brother rest in peace. He sounds like he was a joy to know and will be missed by all.
