I am for OUT. Democracy trumps everything and the Camster's faux nego was for the read and laugh file. He went for 'thin gruel' and he came back with 'no gruel'. The boy's a ConFed and he should do the honest thing and come out. Trade will conti…

The lack of news regarding a second Bond novel from Horowitz makes me think it's not going to happen. If we are going back on the celebrity bandwagon literary aficionados should maybe start to give IFP the benefit of their advice. For my part, I'd…
