Yeah, that line was funny and classic simultaneously. But just a dance. No help.

definite kudos though. You definitely need to be shaking the tree right to get mentioned in Parliament in that manner.

All the court cases against me were a sign too :)

A good way to prove that you've got balls the size of coconuts,Mike . Sad that corruption runs so deep. DAs are the same all over,open pockets waiting for gold..I my country a letter like that no matter how valid, would likely send you off to jail for offering the "Grand Phoo Bah". Which is why some folks use rocket lanchers to express their grieferances instead of letters.

Thank you for sharing this

Thanks. It’s interesting to watch the process there. Nonstop chatter. It seems like you instigated some discomfort. There seemed to be a reaction when your name was mentioned. You’re a definite minority. Most wouldn’t want the notoriety of action. It’s more “comfortable “ to remain out of the line of fire.

Wow, Mike. Just wow. Just came off 4 straight days of insane work, can't remember my own address, hope to respond more coherently soon (and you managed to sneak in a column on Palestine--amazing!).
