Concurrence with Mr. Breslin: fyi: Louisiana was a blue state - you get what you pay for! Let them pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, ala the regular Republican refrain instead of now after the fact being subsidized by big government spending!

Michael - I saw your copy of the Mailer-Breslin poster. It's beautiful. I couldn't make out the artist's name, can you tell me who it is? Thanks for posting it, Julie
