#1 Posted by who? And this is WoT related how exactly?

#2 Interesting news, but not exactly on topic as Gromky notes. Question for Texas is who do the elect as Speaker - the RINO insider old-boy who got there last time with Dem votes and awarded half the chairmanships to Dems, or a conservative?

#3 Yeah. Maybe we could use a non-WoT topic. :-/

#4 *raises hand*

I posted this one, but I'll admit it's pretty far afield. I thought that this could possibly lead to challenges to Obama on border policy or that the comments could possibly prove educational in some unforseen way. But it's a stretch, so I'll work on keeping my posts more WoT-focused.

What happened to my posting name is a mystery to me though.

#5 Generally a nameless post is mine, for some reason. If I knew what I was doing wrong... I'd probably do a different thing wrong instead.

#6 Too often, Rantburg gets used as an "interesting link of the day" dumping ground. It sucks. I come here for WoT news, and no other. When I want links, I go elsewhere. Not Rantburg.

#7 I like the occasional divergence, Gromky. We disagree, I guess

Oh, good. I don't need to tell you where to go, then.

#11 I come here for WoT news, and no other.

Which is why Fred sorted the important stories to the first two pages, making it easy for those like gromky with limited time and/or more focussed interest. A thoughtful man, our Mr. Pruitt.
