    Dear Winter Patriot and Brad:

    Please CLICK HERE for an important story….

    Are Mr. McClellan and Mr. Rove starting to sweat? Perhaps that tirade against liberals a couple of weeks ago was Mr. Rove blowing steam knowing that he was in trouble!!!

    But the most important part here is that the MSM in general (and CNN in particular) MAYBE… just MAYBE… starting to turn on the Administration. And it’s about d—-ed time too!!!

    I’d like to get everyone’s comments on this story.

    PS WP – I’m going to get some of those REALLY COOL bumper stickers!!!

    re #3 thanks for the tip, MrBlueSky …

    Thanks also for your kind words about the REALLY COOL bumper stickers — I really like THE MUGS too! Some people like the T-SHIRTS. Others are into the BOOKS. It’s a great way to support a great cause. And that’s not just for MrBlueSky but the same goes for all of you!!!

    Images of prisoner who escaped from Afghanistan. US troops unable to find detainee.

    Can you help? American army troops have lost control of a prisoner.

    MrBlueSky,

    Oh golly! I can dream can’t I? We are waiting for the day when the MSM just can’t control the flood waters any longer and the dam breaks. Just like Watergate which started as a tiny story deep in the WaPo and finally worked its way into rapid-fire Nixon-busting stories that finally brought public awareness into the mix.

    Keeping my fingers crossed …..

    Wow — while I was composing my response to MrBlueSky (and taking a break) you guys jumped in with even more links! Bless you all.

    WP — is there any way for us Brad Villagers to know how the fundraising is going?

    Thanks.

    Has anybody heard from Clint Curtis today — did his area fare well during Dennis the Menace (my pet name for the hurricane) ??

    We’ve had nasty weather from Dennis’ bands where I live — lots of wind and flooding. My particular area hasn’t flooded and we didn’t sustain any wind damage, but they say the rain isn’t through with us yet. In fact, we’ve had rain almost every day through the entire summer — we’re just soggy while other places are starved for some rain. I expect we’ll experience our share of drought later in the summer — as usual. It’s either feast or famine.

    When will Clint pick the name for his new puppy?

    I want to thank my brother Steve for his tireless work on the Blogathon. He asked for my help with some of the guest bloggers. Little did I know that I would have the privilege of speaking on the phone with the likes of Clint Curtis and David Cobb. This was actually my first exposure to the blog, and now I have full appreciation for my brother’s passion. Thanks to all who participated. I love you Steve. Get some well-deserved sleep!

    Hi Jan, welcome to the Blog! Wow – how nice of you to help out and what an excellent experience you had actually speaking with such important people to our cause. I hope you’ll be a regular here.

    Steve has done so much work on this Blogathon and I know he must need some extra rest. Bless you both. And thanks!!
