One of my PBS stations is running the interview right now. That's one fine man there. Can you imagine the fun I didn't have when my ex shilled for the Farm Bureau? One of his bosses outright told me in public, in front of witnesses, that the only good Democrat was a dead one. Of course he might've been inspired by the fact that I had chained myself to his booth on the busiest day at the state fair, but it was still no excuse for him to threaten me.

Valasquez is an excellent spokesman and this was a very good interview I thought.

Sounds like you've been on the front lines of this long battle yourself -- thank you for your efforts, my hat is off to you.
