[What Is Ain't]

Good job, Billybob. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

I won't hold against you the fact that Helen Thomas pens her screeds for UPI.

No, Helen Thomas does NOT pen her screeds for UPI. She quit UPI several years ago when they were bought out. She now comes out from under the bridge where she lives to "write" (I use that word loosely) for the Hearst Corporation.

Trying to be fair to Heast, I assume they hired her because as long as she can croak and waddle, she retains her status as "Dean of the White House Press Corps" and always gets to ask questions, lame as they may be. But don't tag me as any sort of associate of that troll. Think of me as UPI's substitute for Helen Thomas. Is that better?
