Every once in a while, after I get done reading all the especially great mail and comments I get I have to share comments that are attached to old posts ... here's a classic from a reader named "cycle john"

5000 years ago Moses said, "pack your camel, pick up your shovel, mount your ass, and I shall lead you to the Promised Land."

5000 years later, Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "lay down your shovel, light up your camel, sit on your ass, this is the Promised Land."

With Bush he will take your camel, sell your shovel, kick you in the ass and tell you there is no Promised Land."

Here's another from Andy Sullivan, an actual reporter, yes a working Journalist as opposed to someone else who only plays one on the internet ...

Hey, can you try to call him ANDREW, rather than ANDY Sullivan? That's my name, dammit. What if my Mom decides to Google me?

I work as a reporter for Reuters and use my Web site to post music: www.andysullivan.com.

Thanks!

See how much fun blogging can be? And to think my mom said I'd never amount to anything.
