No excuses, no conditions. You did a helluva job!

KK,

I'd also like to offer my heartfelt congratulations at your recent accomplishment!

Way to go, man!

P.S. I don't know what I'm congratulating you for, but I'm sure it's really excellent. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, SlabHappy!

WooHoo way to go, man!! Alright!!!

If it is about the Burner/Reichert race, then I'll make a little comment...if it's not, well, sorry for the hijack!

KK, I think it's great that you volunteered for a candidate...it's not the *most* that anyone can do, but it's a damn sight more than 99.9% of us ever do in our political system. I hope you feel some sense of participation and accomplishment even if your candidate didn't pull out the win.

And on pulling out a win...Reichert's going to be our guy, it looks like. When an incumbent faces a virtual unknown, with little to no public service, and the results of the race aren't known for a week after the election because the race was so close, then while not a "win" per se, it is still a victory.

The Reichert camp, much like the Bush camp this week, has had a wakeup call, and will have to change the ways they do business a little, and that's good for all of us. Reichert, unlike many, many others, will have a chance not only to "get the message", but will have a chance to do something with it...the others' "messages" were to pack their bags, and now they're out of the loop.

A representative who is better in touch with his or her constituents' feelings is a better representative for all of us, regardless of what party they belong to.

Fish on...

Blowin', too.

There was no TIC in my post, whatsoever.
You figured it out.
The "Here's to you!" was for giving it your best on the Burner campaign. Nothing more, nothing less. The outcome of the election was not the issue. I figured you did a good job and it was, IMO, worthy of recognition. I would likewise have congratulated you for your efforts had Burner been successful. You showed up.

So it's a tough crowd, and its hard to not think of everyone having ulterior motives. What else is new?

Repeat after me:

"I have no recollection of the incidents you describe..."

Say it with a constipated smile and you're golden.
