Doncha hate people who have an opinion on just about EVERYTHING? But after reading how you politically try to keep to the middle of the road, I just have to offer this quote from Jim Hightower, Texas Agriculture Commissioner...
"Ain't nothin' in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos." (Still, you can see whatever's coming at you from BOTH directions...)

A pithy quote to be sure, but then again, I'm not being run down by the heavy traffic, either. -rc
Randy, while I am a long-time reader of your publications, it never dawned on me even once that you had any particular ideological ax to grind.
Instead, I have found you to be reliably capturing the foibles of human beings--bless our little hearts--simply doing the best we can, and often falling into unintended, real-life comedy scenes.
One thing is certain: you have found a mine where the ore is infinite, as people will always, forever and ever, do things which you can include in This is True.
Most telling when it comes to your own political/religious leanings is the fact that you piss people off of all wings: left, right, conservative Christian, Catholic, Mormon, and Neo-Paganists (okay...I threw in that last one without having any proof you have ever offended a Neo-Paganist).
Love the publication, love your comments, and keep up the good work, Mr Cassingham!
You asked a question as to why Clinton did not tell the truth, well the reason is quite obvious if you remember all of what was going on. He was being sued in civil court for sexual harassment and if he admitted anything about Monica, it would have been used against him. He got caught with his "hand" in the cookie jar and was not honorable enough to admit the truth and instead dug himself even deeper. The funny thing, to me at least, is that many people think it was just about sex, but the reality is that perjury by the President is unacceptable.

I didn't suggest that he tell the truth, I suggested that he say it's between him and his wife -- who of course could not be subpoenaed to testify about what he said to her in private. -rc
