FSP counter is really moving

Who is this Russel person?

I heard he's out ruining it for the rest of us.

What are you -- a robot?  Don't most people recognize their spouses, even if the name is misspelled?

Russell gets very upset when people repeatedly drop the extra "L" and I kind of understand where he's coming from because people seem obsessed with adding an extra "E" to the end of my last name.

daleberte?  I see how that could be annoying.

I heard that he was donating the second l to Libertarians who wanted to become small-l libertarians, but couldn't afford to get the operation (snip-snip) to convert from a Big-L.

While I do overly focus on education (since it is one of the best tools available for repression), it sure seems that we've lost a lot of ground last year.  We have the smoking ban, the legislature's unconstitutional cave-in to the courts over education, etc.  Any chance we can reverse this trend next year?

I'm especially worried about the NEA thuggery.  I understand that there are plans to "cost out" HB927 (the atrocious "Claremont" teacher union giveaway) which sounds like the birthing sounds for an income tax.

Given that the Democrats control House, Senate and Governor, slim to none.  The good news is that the more they do, the more likely they will lose control, and they know that as well, so they aren't doing as much as they could do.

Well, I didn't drop it repeatedly -- just once.  Plus, I fixed it. 

I can certainly understand being annoyed when people misspell your name...people misspell mine all the time.  But I hope you're wrong and Russell doesn't get "very upset" -- that seems like an extreme overreaction to me.

don't be messing with my small l .... I worked hard to attain 2 of 'em
