Well I had a moment when I saw No. 7 as I naturally think of the North Carolina version and said WTH? Of course they meant Arkansas.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

But you do agree, Cut Bank is the place to cut a rug, break out the bling and hang out with the glitterati.

The problem was the carriage return after the URL and before the closing tag. I took the liberty of removing the carriage return. --Bob

I used to live in Houston and loved it. You can't beat the winters, the restaurants are excellent, the people are great, the price of housing is low and they have great medical facilities (MD Anderson). The traffic is horrible and bad hair are the norm. Nashville and Houston are my favorite cities.

This whole thread confused me up to and including the carriage return. How am I supposed to get ahead in post count if AJ keeps posting blank posts?????
