What would a birthday be without some commemoration? Noman Says is one year old today. It occurred to me just yesterday that somebody out there might be invoking me as an authority in an argument, or mentioning me in a conversation: "Noman says..." That's my hope, especially for readers overseas. It's been a good year, though I'm amazed I stayed with it. If the President had been less forceful shoving his defective ideas about state power down the country's throat, I might not have. Then, there was the economy--always a lively topic. May it once again become safe in America...
