I'm for Fred Thompson.

My handle is in commemoration of the Jumpin' Jim Jeffords defection, even if the Democrat Majority in the Senate did not last long. Remember how upset we all were about that, way back when?

I have committed to abstain from French Bashing for a period of one year, out of respect for the French nation for doing the right thing and electing Sarkozy. Therefore, until 3PM EST on May 6, 2008, I will not say anything negative about France or Frenchmen, no matter what the provocation. Whether or not I hum La Marseillaise in the shower is between me and my cat.

BTW: Anybody have a Countdown Timer I can put in a window to count down to May 6, 2008 3PM EST?

WORST ... PREDICTION ... EVAH - My Nov '06 Prediction - Made June 19, 2006

To: gridlock

BTW, I am incorporating my Nov '06 predictions into my tagline, so there can be no doubt who called it right and when.

THE TEN CANNOTS
By Reverend William J.H. Boetcker (1916)
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves
