| To our loyal readers, Fred continues to improve. He had a setback but is recovering from this. We don't know when he'll return to the Burg but it shouldn't be too long. And now, a request, and an admonition. The mods have noted that the last couple of weeks have seen some loss of civility on the Burg. A couple of long-time readers have ended up on the poop-list, and certain others seem to be pushing the envelope. There are clearly new stresses out there both around the world and at home. In times like these, civil, rational discourse is how we'll be heard. None of us want the Burg to be the center-right equivalent of Kos or MyDD. So let's keep it civil, let's respect the simple rules for discourse, and let's keep an eye on the world. Thank you. |

| #5 LMAO WJ9440. Well, let's hope that when "dad" returns, he finds that some of the children have risen to the occasion and made an effort to behave responsibly (and I have no one specific in mind, I might add!). Steve White, you and everyone else have done a great job keeping Rantburg running as smoothly as possible during Fred's recovery. Fred's presence is definitely missed, but the essential elements that keep Rantburg great are all still in place. Nice touch with the Persian protest babes on the Defender-Scimitar the past couple of days too. Sorry to hear about Fred's setback, but glad to hear that he's improving. He's in my prayers as all Rantburgers are always. |

| #4 It's what happens when daddy's away and leaves the oldest kids in charge.... I fully expect some trips to the woodshed when Fred is back |

| #3 Appears he wanted a non-GOP candiate, regardless if he was a flake or a fake. |

| #2 Get well Fred. I was thinking of Rantburg today when I went to the Green Thumb Organic farm stand in Water Mill and saw a Jeep Cherokee full of junk (like a guy was sleeping in it) and he had an Obama for POTUS bumper sticker slapped over a Ron Paul for POTUS one. How do you reconcile that flip-flop? |
