Before we get down to business today let’s hear some sage words from the estimable Michael Thomas of Kentucky …

I browsed your memo… (very ‘creative’ title btw)… it doesn’t take long to see that your objective is to demoralize our troops and our citizens, de-ligitimize the efforts (any efforts) of the Bush (or any Republican) Administration, further the “liberal cause” (although there really is no such thing – gaining power is not a cause in itself, you know), and attempt to help us lose this war – and any war – as long as a Republican is in the White House.

Your motives are clearly political and self-serving. I am sure they have made you quite popular with your friends in academia and Hollywood.

This may be the most critical time in the history of the modern world much less of our country; and it is my fervent hope that the American People will remember and appropriately reward those, like you, who have chosen to use this opportunity to forward a political cause, and not incidentally their own careers, by attempting to sabotage an honorable effort to make the world a safer, better place.

Our sons are fighting today, risking their lives… and some are dying… for your right to assist our enemies. That must make you very proud.

Sincerely,

Michael Thomas
Kentucky

More soon …
