A FAREWELL

Thank you, John Barnes, for taking a stand and not compromising your beliefs.

Thank you for the too-brief breath of fresh air you brought to our area.

Thank you for at least neutralizing an otherwise inevitable Robb endorsement.

God bless you in future endeavors.

As for those you leave behind:

Than God for talk radio and other interactive media to give us the information we need and hunger for. It's so nice that we can do our own judging of what's correct and what's not instead of letting the liberal news media (both print and TV) do it for us.
