The Blog idea went absolutely nowhere!!! And what preceded it was used mainly by me (Matilda) and two or three Bush supporters who were using our space to publish intensely right wing articles....LONG ones. Our very kind web master archived what we've saved and deleted some useless material. This site (and its Message Board) is for you to use frugally for short comments or for urls of pertinent articles. It is not meant to be used to republish long, rightwing articles, unless they contain useful and TRUE info. Kevin (our webmaster) joins me in wishing you a happy Thanksgiving and in hoping you will come back to our site often. Things have been so hopeless for so long, but there seems to be some light showing through the White House cracks. And let's not forget that we call our site LET'S TALK SENSE......My fondest wishes to you all.
