Comeon, let's face up - post a pic or at least something other than the wordpress moniker. I'm sure you look better than the pinky faced sunglassed guy that you appear to be :) If you can't figure it out, Puddy or any of us will help you. Look, we're all numbered anyway. Hey volaar!

I'm in awe of this gal. She's got balls, or as Rady would say... she's got clit :) I've found that good journalists like other good journalists, and will respond to them in kind. Kinda like what we're doin here. We're here to learn. You're either "on the bus, or off the bus" quoteth Ken Kesey - one of my all time favorite writers. Oh yeh, he really had balls! Big balls. He even invited the Hells Angels over for a party. That was a gutsy move. On a whim I sent Helen an em, and she wrote me back! I’m in awe of this gal.

Bush and his administration NOT treated her as poorly as they did. Over time, the harrassment and the ignorance amounted to belittling, and these m-f*kers are all too happy to chime in with more of the same. The heighth of the misery for me was watching Helen Thomas on the same stage with Bush at the Correspondent's dinner...in order to create some semblence of relevance, of normalcy. They made her crawl on her belly and now they want to belittle her. More than just a couple reasons why I can't stand to watch television news. It's a joke. A videodrome. A farce.

Too bad she's the last of the good ones left... Remember how she tried to get the Shrub on one of his last White House Conferences (the one where he said that he was "misunderstated") and he kept jumping over her...ha ha! She gave him a real hard time. Democracy Now did a whole piece just on that bit. Yep, she’s great! Too bad she’s the last of the good ones left…
