#2 he's my congress-critter and we like him. He did Artillery in Iraq. He'll be in office til he decides to quit or move up (or....screws up), he's that well-liked - like his Dad

#3 SAM, if you're going to go this far---it's simpler to just arc light the village.

#11 I go fishing but I don't go catching very much. Could it be the beer? Nah, the fish just don't like the bait.
