Today I jumped up out of my chair because someone rang the doorbell after my daughter had gone to sleep which most of my friends know not to do. It was a girl promoting the Democratic National Committee. She started running through her speech as soon as I opened the door. As she was going through her speech I wondered if it would be more polite to stop her from wasting her breath or give her a chance to practice. It was raining.

I think it was the word “staunch” that made her walk away so briskly. I wished her the best of luck. She’s gonna need it!

I’m a republican AND I’m a Law & Order junkie. What could be better than Fred Thompson for president?
