I like dogs. Sick puppies deserve more respect than that.

Translation: interesting comments, but (as I said in the "Family fight over feeding tube reminiscent of Schiavo case -- N..." thread) I think I should jump off the board merri-go-round, due (as before) to time-sharing issues.
If it's "really" important, you all know where to find me (as in calling, writing, emailing, visiting, etc.)
Take care,
G

As a courtesy to Boo, I would ask if she would like to comment on my news coverage of her:

The Register
Saturday, 21 June 2008 STRANGE BUT TRUE News: Someone, probably a lawyer who frequents Topix.com , caught snooping net about Register editor's Unemployment Comp case.- Gordon Watts, this paper's editor and main (but not only) writer, did a routine check of our web logs and saw unusual activity of a Google.com web search on his recent unemployment comp case (sometimes cited as an example of how judges break their own rules). The writer of "Post #219" on May 8, 2008 by a Winter Park, Florida lawyer, who calls herself "Boohil," is believed to be the person searching for updates on Watts' case. Whether true or not, Watts has posted a copy online (here and here) of the motion for rehearing to satisfy curious readers -and offer support of his claims of judicial misconduct.
BESIDES BOO, THERE WERE TWO OTHER NOTABLE BREAKING STORIES:
#1: "Write-in" for RON PAUL may not count
LAKELAND, FL (The Register) June 19, 2008 - "Exclusive" to The Register: The Ron Paul presidential campaign (1-800-RON-PAUL) has just now informed The Register of its thoughts on a "write in" campaign for Ron Paul's presidential bid, in response to a Register inquiry whether he was properly registered as a "write-in" candidate in all 50 states.
#2: Gordon Watts to run for State Congress
LAKELAND, FL (The Register) June 19, 2008 - Register editor-in-chief, Gordon Watts, has, just today, announced his run for the House of Representatives, District 64 of "Imperial" Polk County, Lakeland, Florida.

You are as grounded as any of the other shirts your state has in office. Good luck.

One long-time political oberver said that if I get it, "it would *HAVE* to be God" or words to that effect. You know the chances of a write-in. Slim to none -snowball's chance in Hell. HOT Hell, that is, and small, weak snowball, melting all the while!

I'm melting.....!!!!!
But they're right. A write in has a small possibility to win. For that matter it seems to take lots of money to win an election......

<quoted text>No -it was NOT aboe "me," Unreal:
Political Conservatives (plural) asked me to run to change the rules of the primary, and, since I agreed with their logic, I ran.
Now, if I win, that's another bonus, but even if I lose, the primary was slammed shut by me -at the request of others.(Their request -and my assistance -was not against the law. Many people run because of being asked.)
No, it wasn't "about me" -it was a political favor -to help the race become more conservative -and hopefully more productive for the people the winner would represent.
