Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

I always pay any lost bets; that is part of the code of the west ;-).  I 
don't even consider this a gamble.  from what I know about Coleman, I would 
not have voted for a Dem or a Rep, in MN.  I would have voted for whoever was 
the most libertarian minded. Coleman seems like a typical establishment 
puff-piece politician.

 Al frankens writes silly paperback political screeds.  Kind of like a very 
unattractve leftist male Anne Coulter.  I think it is absurd that screed 
writing ideologues can attain the position of U.S. Senator.

  My primary exposure to franken is from C-span, mostly Book-TV.  From what I 
have seen, I would not allow that punk to walk my dog.  His manner is 
boorish, his attitude is juvenile, and his basic intelligence is 
questionable.  That is my observation from watching and listening to him, 
myself .......bobford
