Speedmaster, if Obama would just protect us, we’d be better served by his playing golf three days a week, fishing three days a week, and before he rests making sure the people he charged with protecting us did their job.

That would just cost two, maybe three boats, with a guide to bait their hooks, help them bring in the fish, and cook.

Gordon Crovitz wrote a great column Monday about the drivel that is posted on internet comment boards. I’m happy that you have been able to keep yours free of trash. I revisit this page because it enriches my mind.
Best wishes to Speedmaster, your other regulars, and your family
