>Interesting to hear that President Bush calle dMr. Jackson to let him know he's praying for him. Class move IMO... And politically smart - far beyond what most folks think he's capable of I'd wager. That is, the prejudged liberal leftty loonies... <g>

>You can't be dumb and fly an F-14 you know.. <g>

No, but you can apparently get an Internet connection.

>Not all southern history is racist you know.. A lot of very fine folks come from that part of the country and I dare say that what bothers me is along the lines of what Tom said - folks judging others by the very means they do not want to be judged by themselves. That is, skin color.

As a resident of the South since 1979, including stays in North Carolina, Florida, and Missouri, I am quite aware that not all southern history is racist, just as I know most residents of Utah aren't married to 20 wives. The average is somewhere around 3 or 4.

But the Confederate flag is a battle flag from a war thats main cause was slavery. You can argue that the right to secede from the Union was the ultimate cause, but that is as naive as saying WWI was fought over an assasination.

>Actually I'd suggest that we've entered a period where so-called 'victims' are having a disproportionate say.

Just the victims you don't agree with. When you were a 'victim' of Bill Clinton and the 'liberal left', I heard plenty of your whining.

>Indeed.. Rush creams them all with an audience hugely larger than them all. some 20+ millions when the evening news gets what? 6-7 million?

Who tells you this, Rush, Mr. Credibility himself? You know the think I like the most about the O'Reilly Factor is that I think O'Reilly doesn't like Rush Limbaugh. Just another reason to watch him.

>Audience count is the only thing that does count. and Rush is king. Even when he had is televisions show and local TV folks put it on at 11:00 PM (here in SLC) or 1:00 AM in many places - he had the largest market share.

Now, which channel is that on? I keep flipping channels, but I can't find it. I don't think I have ever heard 'Limbaugh' and 'good Nielson ratings' in the same sentence.

But you are right about one thing... the person with the biggest audience should win. Glad to see you support Al Gore. < g >
