Shasta, Check out the CF-Talk archives (http://www.houseoffusion.com/archive/). It ran at 5:43 this morning -- a very provocative message with the title "Kill the President." Suffice it to say that the Secret Service caught on and became concerned. I don't want to repeat the message again -- the thread has since been killed. But you can see it in the archives if you want to know what the fuss was about. Judith > ok, wait! what cf-talk thread about the president??
