>>>>>>>>>You obviously know nothing about the Tea Party since you chose Tea Party Nation as an example. Tea Party Nation is not representative of the Tea Party as a whole.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>LOL. Here, I'll say it again for you: "Of course I know TPN isn't mainstream tea party but if stuff happens and the party doesn't dissociate, the mud sticks." In this case the mud is the deliberate attempt to prevent people getting jobs in the hope that this will hurt the president. Don't want the mud sticking to you? "Obviously" you should have dissociated. Limply asserting that TPN doesn't represent the Tea Party as a whole is no good when everybody knows that birds of a feather flock together.

>>>Yes. I responded to what you said yourself.

>>>Enough. I am mainly staying by the phone. My younger sister (much younger) is expecting her first baby, who will be named for Rachel's mother. Her due date is next Wednesday and she says based on her exam at her ob-gyn's today she may be induced today. She says Little P has been kicking furiously and triggering steady contractions all week. Kids! ;-)

>At first I didn't like the name. It seemed too much on the nose. But now I consider it a proper tribute. Big P, a.k.a. Priscilla, died of lung cancer when Rachel was 14. It was fortunate that she lasted that long because the first time they told her she was a goner Rachel was 7. She was not one to take no for an answer and found an experimental treatment program in Boston, a mix of chemo and radiation. My dad said the treatment was pure hell. She did it for Rachel.

>Those 7 years made a huge difference. Priscilla went from being a corporate honcho to devoting her life to Rachel. No lioness could have been more fierce. She devoted her life to Rachel. I know Rachel still misses her, probably every day, but her work was done. One of the speakers at Priscilla's funeral, George Parke, said "If you want to remember Priscilla, just look at Rachel." And now there's about to be a new one.

My son is named for my oldest brother who died in an accident when I was 13.

Damned if he doesn't remind me of him too..
