No more for me, thanks.

A true story, take it any way you want.

In 1979, I lived with Hillary Rodham's brothers in Bill and Hillary Clinton's house in Fayetteville, Ark. We had no heat and no hot water, for months. The boiler crapped out. We had to go up to school to take showers. We had to boil water on the stove to wash dishes. We slept under piles of quilts, and in the mornings, we could see our breaths when we awoke.

The Clintons could not afford to fix the boiler. Bill made $32K a year as governor. Hillary was the number advocate for children's rights in the country. Children don't have a lot of money for expensive lawyers, I guess. It would have cost $3,000 to fix the boiler, and they didn't have it.

Where was all the money they were supposed to be making on Whitewater, Hillary's futures investments, the graft and corruption they were supposed to be getting? I don't know, but it sure as hell wasn't being burned to keep three kids warm.

You can draw your own conclusions. This is one story that wasn't reported. But, I promise you, it is a true story.

All this political stuff is going to hurt the BTP community if we're not careful.

Let me just say that I disagree heartily with the thought that the NYT/CBS/etc are left of center in anything close to the way that Fox is right of center. There is just no comparison.

(Among other things, the NYT was aggressively anti-Gore all through the 2000 campaign. Go to www.dailyhowler.com for all the ugly details -- and be prepared to stay a while, as he has months worth of material to make the point.)

BUT ...

I don't want to fight about it!!! Not here, at least.

Here is where I go for poker and to feel like I'm in a community full of people who are working together to help each other. If we fight about politics, that's going to get buried.

This is my last contribution to this thread. (I hope I can keep that promise.)
