Thanks a lot low, I tried to find that thread and couldn’t. You’re a peach.
WEST PALM BEACH - Peter Kessler didn't mean to start an avalanche, but now that it's rolling, he's really enjoying the show.
A week ago today, someone posted a news story that caught Kessler's eye on FreeRepublic.com, a conservative Web site. It was about Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate campaign entourage having breakfast at a cafe in Albion, NY, and forgetting to tip the waitress - a single, uninsured mother who makes only $5,000.00 a year outside of tips.
"My comment was, 'Gee, maybe we should take up a collection for this poor woman,'" Kessler recalled.
The comment, which Kessler posted on the Web site, took off like a helium balloon in high wind, buoyed by the power of the Internet and a puff of publicity. Sympathetic and outraged readers around the globe stuck money - dollars, kroner, yen - into envelopes and mailed them to Tricia Trupo, the stiffed server at the Village House Restaurant.
"We are well, well over $1,000 for Trish," Kessler said Thursday. He said he had never spoken with Trupo, but could identify with her.
Hillary doesn’t learn from her mistakes.
