Cool, thanks for all the background research! Ping me if you get a reply from them, I'd like to hear what you find out there!
Thanks,
You asked me to ping you if I got a reply from Edwardsville Intelligencer about the kerry article (http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/graphics/Bryant_Park_1.jpg ). If I don't send you an update now, your post will soon be so far in the past, I'll never find it.
Still no reply from Edwardsville Intelligencer. I sent them another e-mail on Tuesday. I got another e-mail from WinterSoldier, that says it was an AP article. So I'm running off in that direction now.
I suspect the reason Edwardsville Intelligencer won't answer my e-mails is because it's true. If they never ran the article, they'd be very vocal about it.
