Re: As has been pointed out to you
Excellent rejoinder, n.a. probably the best response on the thread. I just can't believe his naivete. And when I read the phrase, ''Communist slave masters,'' I just about ... well, you know. Look, we all know about China's human rights abuses, preferential treatment to some segments of their vast society and lack of same to others, quashing of ...

I just tried to ...
YUP! He's just lucky I didn't go with ... 'stick.' Agree?Also, I did a little Navy-aircraft ''reconnaissance'' work on his claim that the USNavy P3C-Orion is an unarmed plane -- because as a former VP-patrol squadron wife, I didn't remember it that way. If interested, my latest post to him is below. (You can probably guess the outcome.) :-) Let's ...

Re: Dealing with China is ... wrong?
Thanks, Laurie. (I prob. should have asked first, sorry.) Posting the limerick for Nick now. :-) SN/t. (p.s. his ridiculous comment about my R.L. came the day after my son's birthday, a day full of wonderful, loving long-distance phone calls with him & other family members and several good friends, so the irony really just struck me. He is ...

As I said, he really IS ....
You'll excuse my skepticism. Catholic and other ''Big Three'' original churches' women have been waiting long -- far too long -- for Catholic and Orthodox ordination of women. I can't buy that explanation, sorry. And bringing up the example of a few previously married Anglican convert priests is hardly a universal reply. (how many are there, do ...

The Pope is quite a marketer, isn't he? ....
Sorry but no, we won't give him up. And I'm not switching either. Why would he want to follow a pitch & marketing ploy targeted at homophobes? Personally, I like taking Communion from women (GASP!) and gay people (GASP! GASP!) of both genders. This is the year 2009, dear Demos ... 1409, after all. (How are you doing, btw? I read a couple of ...

Re: Sure, I'll post it over there
Thanks, dear. Yes, I do ''know'' you, or at least Fray-'know' you. That's why I ginned up my Fray-courage and dared to post over here. As for the ''BOTF fight that seemed to never end...'' well, it's considerably nicer & more friendly over there now (cough, cough). Starting up this exclusionary place (here) seems actually to have helped the ...

That's not good news, Jack. Not in the least.
Not for New York and its economy, not for its readers all over the country, not for the thorough & well-principled pursuit of the truth and most definitely, not for the country. Why don't you try to have a broader view of things, sometimes?I'm jes sayin' ... SN/t.

Re: Paranormalities - A Halloween Post - Part 1
Dear favorite storyteller, A favor, please, m-too? Can you please double-post your wonderful stories and recipe items, etc? I'm asking specifically re: the BOTF, where you are (hugely) missed. Some of us are not comfortable posting over here (**) but would still like to read your terrific stuff. Thanks much. SN/t. p.s. met a wonderful lady ...

Go Broncos!!
Just amazing. How much longer can this last, people? I'll take wagers if anyone feels like it. Does the Donkeys run end next week? Or can they keep this up? And Jack, why are the Saints second on your favorites list and Broncos third? Shouldn't that be reversed? Also, Nice Front Page, folks. Good work, lots of variety, lots of focus on issues, ...

No, that's incorrect. See below...
The first thing he did was call the FAA, see below for why. The second call was to KUSA-9-TV asking the News Director for the use of their helicopter, see below for why. She said Yes, btw. Their website address is below; her name is Patty Dennis, she's been at ''9'' for years and is a highly experienced, quite skeptical newsperson and manager. She ...
