Woo hoo!!

$50 check in snail mail on Monday April, 21. (I know it’s been a long time, since I put my money where my mouth is.)

Thanks for everything, sir.

"But only AFTER you've made your contribution to FR!"

I AM a monthly donor! :-) Dang! That picture of the "odd couple" is hard on the eyes! LOL!

I'll try the ad blocking.

[don-o]

Are you on the monthly list?

If not, wanna be?

I’m a monthly donor. I thought my name was on the list already? But, if it’s not, yes I’d like to be added. :-)

Every successful endeavor is nothing but the shadow of one person. In the instance of FR it is James Robinson. His effort has been remarkable and he surely fits into the below quote from Albert Jay Nock's Isaiah's JOb.

"...It may be thought, then, that while taking care of the Remnant is no doubt a good job, it is not an especially interesting job because it is as a rule so poorly paid. I have my doubts about this. There are other compensations to be got out of a job besides money and notoriety, and some of them seem substantial enough to be attractive. Many jobs which do not pay well are yet profoundly interesting, as, for instance, the job of research student in the sciences is said to be; and the job of looking after the Remnant seems to me, as I have surveyed it for many years from my seat in the grandstand, to be as interesting as any that can be found in the world.

"...What chiefly makes it so, I think, is that in any given society the Remnant are always so largely an unknown quantity. You do not know, and will never know, more than two things about them. You can be sure of those – dead sure, as our phrase is – but you will never be able to make even a respectable guess at anything else. You do not know, and will never know, who the Remnant are, nor what they are doing or will do. Two things you do know, and no more: First, that they exist; second, that they will find you. Except for these two certainties, working for the Remnant means working in impenetrable darkness; and this, I should say, is just the condition calculated most effectively to pique the interest of any prophet who is properly gifted with the imagination, insight and intellectual curiosity necessary to a successful pursuit of his trade.

The link for the Nock quote is: HERE.

JR surely is a member of the remnant. In times past, he would have been considered a prophet. Thanks JR! The fascination

Damn. Three hate sites listed: Huffy, KOS, DU.

[don-o]

Wouldn’t that block ALL the pictures? Or can you specify that only Clinton images be blocked?

;)

[Lady Jag]

Good show, Sneakers!
