I thought they usually do a background check on attendees, rather than just handing out tickets willy nilly, but then maybe that's just in New Hampshire in tiny little venues where you're usually within paper-airplane distance or closer.

The News-Register actually published the story of the Prez's visit last Thursday or Friday. I'm sure Wheeling is crawling with SS.

I hope Dubya's coming to PA in the near future. He could help Lynn Swann break away from "Fast Eddy" Rendell in PA gov race.

They are currently in a dead heat @ 48% each!

I think that is the Enemedia hype bs. I was handed a ticket willy nilly last fall. There were 2 commies right in front of me writing down every word the President said.

Not only were we close to the President, we were very close to AF1. Magnificent sight, btw.

LOL! I can just picture that too, like they were on some secret underground mission.

I'm still trying to find any headline with your spin, can you show me where that was posted on their website?

You could have asked before you played the role of posting cop. Take a hike.

Nope. Unless you want to admit to being a MOD, you have no more right to change headlines than me. Us little average posters get called on that constantly. What makes you special...your sign up date??

You're such a crafty snitch, why not just ask a mod or hit the abuse button? Either way I'm not doing research for you.

I did. They changed your title and never said a word to you.

Well, well. Aren't you the intrepid one.

If you had a lick of sense you would have noticed the original article with a different title was posted on their website eight hours before you posted. Even the lead paragraphs changed. You must think the mod on duty yesterday morning was just twiddling their thumbs.

Or, you could have asked me instead of being a smarta##.

Don't give up your day job, Sherlock.
