Looking forward to it, Teddy !
I’ll be keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed for you (and everyone!) Teddy. Well, except when I’m typing ; ) GOOD LUCK!!!
Looking forward to ‘seeing’ you there, Petro!
See ya ‘there’ phred….
Did you get an email from info@couragecampaign.org today about a Ted Olson conf call tomorrow in advance of closing arguments in Prop 8 trial on 6/16?
I was wondering when this would happen. Good thing Reker took a vacation during this period.
Yes, I did, and I submitted some questions online. Everyone should sign up if there are slots still available. Ted Olson gives great conference-call, I’m told!
Funny story about Rekers in regard to this trial. David Blankenhorn, the Defendant-Intervenors’ star witness, wrote a letter to the NYT in which he said he had never read anything by George Rekers.
Then he wrote another letter shortly thereafter:
Blankhorn is cooked goose. He is probably cursing the day they let Rekers anywhere near their case.
And things aren’t looking so good for that GOP AG in Florida; apparently his staff warned him off Rekers but he wanted him on the anti-adoption case badly. Now he wants to be governor. Good luck with that, I say.
Blankhorn – Let’s Get Ready To Fummmmble !
Doesn’t it just make you want to laugh!?
p.s. believe Blankhorn his own self is a tool and has been busy shaking the haters money tree for over a decade – doubt he had any concerns about Rekers going in -
You funny.
How are your bees?
Doing well. Did you see the picture of the swarm?
Great photo! Did you start a new hive?
Yes.
Can’t wait!
Thanks for the update Teddy, still say it loses in the courts.
