RECENT EXAMINER READER REMARKS:

Thanks for the great reporting. I am a lifetime registered Republican. I am very angry with all the politicians. I have voted republican all my life, but things are really changing now. The more I read your articles and listen to the media, the more I think I'm a Libertarian. I also consider myself a Conservative and an Independent.

Damn you, Garry! I'm too busy as it is, and now I have to stop down and read your posts whenever they show up, because they are just that good. Hopefully lots of people who aren't already members of the choir are reading these too!
