MINOR MILEPOST:

My counter just hit 25,000 views to date. I wonder how many thousand of them were only looking for the "hippie room" picture on these posts? Happens ALL THE TIME, and drives me nuts. Oh well, maybe those surfers picked up a little dram of wisdom on their way to the photo link. Anyhow, here I am at 25K, down a long road since I decided to have my say about Cindy Sheehan in 2005. (Wow -- I didn't even know how to do links when I wrote that.) Today, I jumped on board a Facebook page calling out for "One Million Breitbarts" -- to have done so makes me look almost as narcissistic as the President (who in the past 24 hours has compared himself to Gandhi and Mandella), but I guess we all have to nurture a little ambition.
