Free Republic

So I get home last night and in the mail is an 8 page letter addressed to me with an invitation to join a "secret society". It seems I have been identified by some secret group of famous people who must remain anonymous right now as having "traits" that they are looking for to join their group. This must be something REALLY special, because they apparently only open themselves for new members every 7 years. Not only that, there is no cost to join. All I have to do is respond and I get a free book that details all...

Usually when you click on a post, the person's name that started the thread was in bold as well as the [reply] [private reply] [view replies] [report abuse] Blue Highway tags at the bottom. It has shrunken these into a smaller font and no longer bold. Wha happenin? I didn't change any settings and I am logged in as normal.

I'm tossing this out for discussion, because I really can't decide, and I wonder what you all think? Over a year ago, when the CPA, in conjunction with the Iraqis, laid out the timetable for the handover, and then the schedule for elections, even though this was all done way before our November election, no doubt more than a few folks in the WH realized that the State of the Union address would occur a few days after the Iraqi election? Was this deliberate?
