LOVE your essay today, JH2. It's great every week, but I especially like this one. No one shines the light on the 'demonrats' like you do. LOL.
Dutchess, excellent "putting together job". Also, I keep meaning to tell you, I love your pastel striped hat. It is so "you". I'm jealous. ;-)
Hope you all are having a great day. And, thanks again, John, for your weekly contributions to the Finest Thread.
