I have always kinda liked Joe Farah for his ability to get formented at the latest Statist Outrage. Looks like you really blew him out of the water though. Imagine... rumors that he contributed to a Rush Limbaugh book! Guess that completely discredits his Statist Muck Raking! Thank God for F.A.I.R. (For Authoritarian Inane Reporting). B.T.W., since F.A.I.R. employs "senior analysts", wonder what a "Junior Analyst" does? Ferret out "secret" contributors to Rush Limbaugh books? flw DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
