[Redrivergal]

James is from my home town, Fargo, ND. His sister was a good friend of my daughter. He currently lives in Mpls. and writes for different newspapers, including the Mpls Star and Sickle.
He is very humorous, has written a couple of books and has published on his website pictures of Fargo as he was growing up with comments. Nice guy, quick witted, sarcastic humor also.

Thanks for the info and background.
His coumn in NR is always the 1st thing I read (before Mark Steyn even).
Had never heard of him before last year - good to know he's quite well-known among Freepers (have I been living under a rock?)
