    But that goes without saying. Like Furious Pete Jamie could never prove his self worth in the IFOCE because of jealous lobbyists like Precious X and a few others. As long as they have Joey there is no need for anyone else to steal the spotlight.

    I disagree strongly with the previous commenter who objected to a direct link, as a reader I am extremely grateful for both the entertaining way in which R and H writes and the thoroughness. In addition “Ignatius Rake” is extremely polite. Direct links, please keep them coming. OJ cannot do “everything”.

    Comments like that of 8:10 epitomize the reason why I stopped posting here. (Yes, I’m Rhonda.)
