linkydink I misquoted her. A fine journalist I would make, eh?

I really wonder if he knows how stupid he looks?

My theory is he doesn't care because he visualizes the millions he has in a bank account in Switzerland. With love from Halliburton. Pay-off to lie like a freakin rug all day. Every day.

Oh. Got it. This: Plus this: Equals this:

YES!!!!!!!!! I give you all the plusses in the world for that.

Hah! This guy's funny!

I gave you all the plusses in the world. So I'll smooch you. SMOOCH!

go for it I recently saw a biography of Helen Thomas on A&E. She's an amazing woman. Her ethics set a standard that many in the old boys network came to admire and emulate. She must have the patience of a saint or a vision so clear that she was able to appear patient. She worked for 15 years in a very junior position to many men always following her journalistic instinct and outperforming everyone around her. She was known as the person who was first to arrive and last to leave. When she was finally honoured the Press Club had to make an exception for her to be present because it was still a men only club. I think she means it when she says "don't make a special trip" because she doesn't see herself as being any more remarkable than any other person. I bet you'd have a great lunch.

It would be fascinating dinner conversation, wouldn't it? No weather chat there!

+++++ GO!

I KNOW! Yes I'm shouting! I think I need to prepare. Read a book. Take a history class. Something. I'm feeling shy and "I am not worthy!" - all of a sudden!

you are worthy

Well thanks but I was NOT asking for that. For the record.

noted. there were no neon lights drawing attention to your post... my comment was not meant to cross any boundaries, if I did I'm sorry. I've said before, I'll say again, I admire the political passion you have and how invested you are with your involvement to make that difference, you put yourself out there...and not only in that arena, but in your job as well...so if HelenT accepted your offer, she is smart, and I'm sure it was in how you conveyed that positive conviction you show here so many times, as well as if you have the opportunity to get to DC - it is none of my business, but as a forum participant, and what I've gathered about you, I'll say again..you are worthy....and you are too hard on yourself BB. now you can tell me to go suck a pickle or something...sorry to have gone on, just stating my case, again, no offense meant.

no offense Just stop with the flry! I embarass easily!

yes Ma'am.

for the record I didn't neg.

I didn't think so. No prob. It could be read harshly though it wasn't intended to be. The red-faced smile didn't come through the net.
