Viva La Fred!

Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit has been keeping his finger on the conservative Republican pulse especially when it comes to John McCain. Glenn has also noticed a lot of folks pining for the good, old days when Fred Thompson was still a candidate:

REGARDING MY EARLIER POST, reader Don MacRae emails:

Long time daily reader, first time writer. I have noticed the Fred Thompson comments as well; file under "You Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone". For the record, not only did I donate to his campaign, I went door to door to get signatures so he could be on the ballot here in Ohio and my wife was a state delegate to boot. I have been wondering who to support since Fred dropped out of the race and I am now fairly certain that I am going to vote for Fred anyway. Screw John McCain!

Fred may do surprisingly well, for a guy who's not running . . . .

I have to say I like the way this MacRae guy thinks!

I'm Somebody Now!

When we were out pheasant hunting this past Friday morning we ran into none other than D'Arcy Egan, the outdoor writer for The Plain Dealer. We had a great half hour conversation about many of the places we had been fishing and hunting around the country. As a result we got a nice mention in the Saturday paper which you can read here. D'Arcy mentioned that M'Lady was one of just a few women hunters though I have always thought of her as a feminist pioneer.

It just goes to show you that some of the nicest people you will ever meet are often hunters and fishermen.
