Mid-Summer 06

August 2006
America's Mainstream Media:  A Perfect Guide to Doing Things Right   Many years ago I often heard references to a man named Wrong Way Corrigan.  I suspect it was something out of WWII, but I don't know that for a fact.  These days  it is a title which could accurately be attached to outfits like the New York Times and CBS.

Outdoor Guide Claims 100 Fish a Day Possible !!   Mac Huff guides on the East side of the Cascades.  He sent this promotional email the other day and got our attention with that boast.  If the fish are of any size, what a day that would make for the fur and feather barbless boys.

E-RFD: A Traitor is About to be Honored      Hopefully this information will someday reach the sight and mind of Hanoi Jane. How well I remember reading about her wonderful visit to Vietnam! Today I see her on TV and get sick to my stomach when I hear others give her honor. What a tragic example of an American! 
Bad Thinking Produces Unintended Consequences  Wherein Ross Smith compares what liberals think they are doing to what actually happens when they do it - and requests divine forgiveness on their behalf.
