I seem to get more "comments" when I...
(a) Screw up, which is quite often. (I write these things very late at night, after work, with a brandy old fashioned sour in sight and almost always in a complete fit of stupid laughter.)
(b)Put up a Wisconsin Playmate post. which, I am told, is not often enough. and...
(c) Post something banal or ridiculous.
In general, the comments sections are pretty much empty.
However, I get a lot comments via e-mail...and lately, I've been getting e-mails that are political in nature, some from the right and some from the left. Must be something to do with the election year. Last night, I was blitzed by e-mails from Ron Paul supporters. Is he still running? If anyone cares to comment below, I'd really appreciate someone explaining Ron Paul to me. Is he an Amway salesman gone wild? Is he a Libertarian mole? Is he Don Quixote? Let me know. I'd appreciate it.
By the way, Ron Paul signs are so plentiful in the front yards of my older, near downtown neighborhood in Appleton, that one would assume he was a front runner. Comments?

Anything political after, oh, Warren Knowles is just not interesting. Which reminds me of the Knowles brothers. Now there was a pair. Warren Knowles came to Bangor when I was in high school and we had to haul the band out to a new fancy sawmill to play for the governor as he anointed the new business, Webster Lumber Company. The company many years later was sold to a Canadian company, which sold it again, and recently it was shut down, I heard. My friends Bony and Mike and I used to drive Bony's mom's red Corvair through the pastures there at night hunting rabbits, with one of us sitting on the hood with a shotgun. I guess they probably don't do that anymore, either.
I'd prefer Playmates to politicians, too, if you're asking.
That's exactly what I'm asking...and hunting rabbits at night with a shotgun from the hood of a red corvair is a stunning visual...I can't get it out of my mind.
You gotta be pretty dense to not get Ron paul.
You gotta be pretty dense and high on something to think Ron Paul has a chance of being elected.
Ron Paul is a hypocritical idiot. Those signs are all over my neighborhood too. Thanks for your blog. I read it every morning.
hey FLA,
on politics - maybe you've covered this already somewhere but I didn't find it - what about covering "The Wisconsin Idea"?
Advocated by Bob La Follette, reforms which included:
Primary elections
Workers' compensation
Direct election of US Senators
(17th Amendment to US Constitution)
"Progressive" taxation
(16th Amendment to US Constitution)
We take these for granted now.
Ron Paul is the only politician I know who makes Warren Harding look progressive. Cousin Steve
