cynicom seems to have a problem with anybody who is well-read and armed with facts other than himself. Yesterday he posted something about how few people even know who Henry Wallace was and I posted a few Henry Wallace facts off the top of my head. Then cynicom comes back with the following (false) claim:

Guess ole PJ went to look at that 30 second bio he scanned of Wallace.

I guess cynicom can't accept the fact that I actually KNEW those facts without having to look them up. And as proof of this fact was my claim that I read a book about the 1948 Progressive Party campaign called "Gideon's Trumpet." Guess what? I was WRONG! I found out this morning that the name of the book is actually "Gideon's Army" which means that I did NOT look up that info on the web since if I did I would have stated "Gideon's Army" not "Gideon's Trumpet" (another book).

Please forgive me, cynicom. I got the name of the book slightly wrong but it has been many years since I read it so my memory wasn't quite up to par. However, it does prove I got those Henry Wallace facts from my memory, NOT from the web. This may shock cynicom but other folks actually do read books. I can attest for sure that you (SamAdams76) definitely are a big book reader from what I've seen of your active participation in the Freeper Reading Club. Perhaps cynicom should join too since he might learn a few things.
