We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

WOW, She looks like a female George Washington. It's shame that she has strayed so far from his political philosophy.

Considering that it is a municipally owned property, I would concur and in spite of what she may think, that building is NOT her private fiefdom.
If we can't poke and joke about politicians then things have deteriorated a lot more than I would have believed. Ms Gross is fair game precisely because of who and what she is.

I guess I am little embarrassed to read pages of insults about what someone looks like. Besides being seriously off-topic, it is rude, regardless of her political views. Worse, it makes us look bad.

That is much more "to the point" of what I was trying to say... and in addition to all that, it's also quite clearly in violation of the Forum Rules:
(9) HATE IS NOT WELCOME HERE: Any posts attacking others based upon race, religions, national origin, sexual orientation, or anything other than opposition to gun rights is NOT WELCOME HERE! We reserve the right to impose immediate bans for such behavior.
One's personal appearance clearly has nothing to do with one's opposition to gun rights.

You make a good point TFred.
Nevertheless, I would fully understand wanting to see a cartoon characterization - for editorial purposes ONLY of course.

I'm definitely not trying to be the "forum police", or whatever other flattering euphemism one might think of... It just seems to me that anti-gunners don't like us already, we don't need to add "and besides all that, they're jerks" to their ammo pouch.
Dennis Prager, a fairly well known conservative columnist and radio host, has observed:
Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.
With this in mind, the more I see and read about interactions between the two political "ends", the more I believe he is exactly right.
Anything we can do to dispel the ideas that anti-gunners assume to be true about "us", is effort well spent.
All, IMHO, of course...
TFred
P.S. Further research reveals it was Charles Krauthammer who said this... not Dennis Prager... apologies all around...
P.S. (2) More evidence of this from Dennis Prager (this article is probably what I was originally thinking of).

Sic Semper,
You are absolutely correct. When it comes to personal liberty Ms Penny does not have the cognitive ability that God gave rabbits, but that handicap is unrelated to her less than appealing physical appearance.

Ok.. It's been a week. I know the holidays are busy but I still expect to be replied to when I write to someone directly. Looks like I will have to call this guy or pay him a visit. I asked him for an explanation and I want it. I carry in that area and in that same station and have a valid concern.

Good point, except "up here" our mail is not delivered by pony.
Postcard was sent 11 days ago and I am one day mail service (even over Christmas) from them.

I think it will get worse before it gets better. The Sandston sorting and distribution center is sorting mail for all the other facilities the Post Office recently closed in Virginia. I heard they will soon be taking on Norfolk and eastern shore mail to sort also.
What they are really doing is closing other centers hoping people will take early retirement or resign rather than driving to Sandston to work every day. With mail volume dramatically down due to the Internet, they have more employees than they now need.
Most of my J C Penney special offers are expired before I even receive them in the mail now.
