No problem. As you have probably garnered, I live in the SF Bay Area - the "land of fruits and nuts". Anytime you want to trade your "trivial battles" for my "trivial battles", just let me know!!
The Republican Party out here is infested with RINO's, and they like to run amok. In any event, the makeup of the local Bay Area Republican party is a moot point, as they are pretty much irrelevant anyway (not sure if I even consider Arnie to BE a republican, RINO or otherwise). At least you guys are still a major force to be reckoned with back there. Keep fightin' the fight, and send us John Engler (if he can still be found!!).
I guess the power of the p..... is not to be underestimated as it seems sure that his wife runs him.... so sad..
