SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS
Re: Enemy Central's The Heat Is On :

I truly enjoyed reading this on Saturday morning. I wouldn't miss a day of The American Spectator.

It gave me great pleasure to hear VP Cheney's remarks to Leahy. I have used worse than that in my reference to Leahy (and Kennedy, and KKK Byrd, and Clinton, etc.). At least I can laugh about the Democrats. Gore seems to have lost any sense of humor if he ever had one. I would be the first to sign any papers that would put Maureen Dowd in Iraq. She doesn't offer much but maybe the terrorists would understand her kind of hate. She could take Paul Krugman along for companionship. If she needs female companionship I suggest Ellen Ratner. I saw her this morning on the TV with a turkey. Had trouble figuring out which one was the turkey. There goes that sense of humor again. If I don't laugh at the Democrats I might actually believe them. Poor souls are truly lost.

FLOYDADAESQUE
Re: George Neumayr's Lonesome Love:
Hi folks!

"The Floydada corridor"?

Hey! I lived on it, right there in Crowell, county seat of Foard County, where Thalia is located.

I never heard any local wits refer to it as that. Perhaps I didn't hang out with folk who were quite as witty as the ones Mr. McMurtry did.

"Fornicating presidents will find no welcome there"? Well, hey! Senator Kennedy carried the county when I lived there in 1960. I guess he wasn't yet a fornicating president. Yeah, that explains it.

"Elephant gun"? Mr. McMurtry must know President Clinton pretty well.

Having been in the middle of Jesuit high school training at the same time that Clinton was at G-town, I find it extraordinary that any Jesuit inclined to see Slick Willie as a Jesuit recruit, would also find it praiseworthy that he "write(s) like a Catholic think(s) like a Catholic." In the Regis High School class of 171, this accolade would have been viewed by faculty peaceniks as grounds for suspension, rather than a résumé enhancement.

Here's a newsflash for Bill Clinton. They never stopped making RC Cola and it is still available nationally. He can't even reminisce truthfully about minor points.

IRON CLAD
Re: Lawrence Henry's The Culture of Iron Will:

Yes, and the scary thing is that organizations that actually do stuff, like produce tangible goods or provide healthcare or education are run the same way.
-- Dennis M. Duggan

He gets it dead right.
