We talked about his primary battle against Specter, and he told me that he really was never upset with Bush for supporting Specter.

Or can this marriage of Martinez and Conservatism be saved? I’d love to see Jeb Bush run, but he seems happy being out of the political scene.

Yeah, a lot of hours went into this, but I'm glad I did it. I reminded myself of a lot of really good ideas and resources I heard about, and was able to go find the links to them.</p> <p>I wouldn't object to some recommendations, the first couple entries dropped off the reco list pretty fast. There was a lot of competition this week. :)</p> Try to make it easier for people to get to an index. Yeah, a lot of hours went into this, but I’m glad I did it.

I wouldn’t object to some recommendations, the first couple entries dropped off the reco list pretty fast. There was a lot of competition this week. :)

Although it would not break my heart if Human Events ever had a cruise, LOL!

It seems kinda crazy to go in 09 given that they just went on one. If it is 10, I'm there. Sadly, my July 09 is already booked.</p> Is the next cruise in July 09 or 10?

If it is 10, I’m there. Sadly, my July 09 is already booked.

I’ll do what I can to get on the next one, but Summer is the time for rock group tours and I’m managing a band again (Lightspeed).

Cheers !

A little outside my price range. The cruise isn't terrible (~ $4K for the boat ride) but that doesn't include airfare, etc. For my wife and I, we'd probably be talking $10K for the whole event. I'll have to settle for your diaries, I'm afraid. :-)</p> Yikes! A little outside my price range.
