My pleasure, and remember me when you run across that special post that you would like to nominate.

[RJayneJ]

I do appreciate that he was sensitive and did not have a signing ceremony. It would have been like pouring salt in the wound. On the other hand, I don't blame him for not wanting to bear the full brunt of something that should never have reached his desk in the first place. I think that had he vetoed it, and then was overwritten, it would have been a disaster to his leadership and given the hand he was dealt, he played it as well as could be expected. Besides, I'm delighted that McCain is mad and Bush more or less told him to "stick his finger up his butt and get glad."

[RJayneJ]

It's a wonderful piece and I will send you the link when it gets posted to a separate page.

That's the greatest acceptance speech I have ever seen! You're destined to greatness and an Ohioan as well. You can't lose.

[RJayneJ]

Thanks for your kind words. I am always looking for a well reasoned and written essay, rather than the point of view. I don't dismiss the point of view because often both sides make valid points, but I try to be fair and I appreciate your having noticed.

Looks like the CFR crowd has an unpleasant surprise coming.

. . .and an Ohioan as well.

That's right. Buckeye til the day I die.

O-H-I-O!

You think it will change the minds of the Myopic Crows? Hardly. But when this plays out, we shall have fun, shall we not? ;-)

Me too!

When Bush's plan works, we will get some of them back. Not all, but some of them. The rest will run off and be losers.

[terilyn]

Wow, thanks! I didn't intend to write an essay LOL! I started off responding to a comment and got carried away.

So if PJ-Comix can't fulfill his duties as winner this week for any reason do I get the crown? :)

Howlin, thanks for being so observant and always giving me great comments to respond to.

[terilyn]

Most excellent speech! Encore, encore...

[rdb3]

I see! Cincy representin'.

[rdb3]

Thank you, thank you very much.

For my next performance, I'll sing Bill Munroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky," followed by my own rendition os 2Pac's "So Many Tears."

Blue Moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'. . .

;-)

Smack in the middle between Cincinnati and Dayton, as the crow flys. I was born and reared in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati.

That's right, but no fair having someone hit him on the legs like Tanya Harding. (But you can pull on his whiskers and he will follow you anywhere.) If that helps.

[terilyn]

LOL! Hey I got my encore anyway :)

[terilyn]

I'll have to remember that for future reference. You never know when it would come in handy to have someone follow you around for a while. Though, my mom always told me, (and my sister during one of our famous sister battles), that pulling hair was for sissies! I'll try to be gentle ;^)
