  • Good to have the NYC residents' perspective...

    because via the media, I have heard & read almost exactly the opposite. I think the media is allowing those families of the 9/11 victims who are opposed to trying KSM, and the others, in the City to stand for all New Yorkers. I think he should be tried there and I have every confidence that a NYC jury is not going to acquit that guy on some ...

  • Re: Hillary in 2012 ...

    Thanks very much. I figured we don't know (Fray-know) each other so would just give you some factual background on my political feelings & posting history. Take care & hope you will reply to another t.p. of mine at some point. SN/t.

  • Re: Best to you also.

    Seriously on my end as well. I wish you had been posting around the time of the Sotomayor nomination. I'm so glad that all turned out well. SN/t.

  • About Demosthenes,

    Hey back Laurie, About Demos, who is a male and a true gentleman of the Fray, I have always found him to be a fine poster, honest and straightforward. His ethics are above approach, Laurie, and always have been. If he wrote that he thought rundeep's Top Post was straightforward and sincere, I believe that he means it. I would always trust him ...

  • Re: I was out there in 90, around January....

    Fantastic story, W., thanks so much for sharing it here. I only know one other person who was there around that time and his story was not as well-told as yours. Very evocative! I had a lunch one time in '91 (I think it was) at the Louisville (CO) HQ of StorageTek (remember them?) and they had two good-sized pieces of the Wall in their employee ...

  • "Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL ..."

    was what I thought your link was going to be. :-) Seeing President Kennedy now, on YouTube, makes it all seem so real, so current, so ... alive. I often wonder what his life would be like now, had he lived. You know that I'm not much of a YouTube user so thanks for this second link. I was quite surprised that no one posted here, yesterday, ...

  • "Ich Bin Ein Berliner..."

    http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/jfkberliner.html As we know yet no one here commemorated yesterday, yesterday was 20 years since the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The footage replayed on the news yesterday was just so amazing and moving -- especially the film of the young (and old) Berliners taking sledgehammers to the Wall. Thought it ...

  • Snarky, snarky, snark, snark, snark ...

    but nope, a nice dark auburn. Ask Jack. :-) (is the use of that inapt phrase a true sign that you and mrs. topes have reconciled? We live in hope...) Fyi, 'dark thugette of color' is what Lillymac used to call me back in the day when Robes was still with us. Robes used to post to lillymac from time to time and was the person who convinced that ...

  • STAR BOTF/TP alumni Sheila Samples

    Love her stuff, always have, always will. Thanks for the link, lillymac. We've got a gorgeous day going on here in Colorado -- great views of the nearby snow-capped mountains, bright blue sky, temps heading for the 60s down here in town. ''Wish you were here,'' [signed] Your ''Dark thugette of color.'' T.

  • Re:

    Normally, I don't reply to you but hey, your Top Post looked so lonely up here. And no, I didn't notice that, so am glad for the information. But I am wondering what he is going to decide about Afghanistan and how much/many ''resources'' he will commit to that (cursed? doomed) endeavor. I'd like to see us 'fold our tents' there,but honorably and ...
