[AGL] Democrats with Balls

[Gerry]

Twisty,
I'm not involved either, just sign petitions on the internet. Can't help but
notice, however, the differences in NM demos the texican variety. The local
folks will get after it when the chips are down. Seems like the old demos in
the lone star state were really good at drinking and bragging but aside from
a few leaders like LBJ and crew who had them together for awhile they were
always splintered. Racism had a lot to do with it as I recall.

New subject: do you know about Mimi Fox? Jazz guitarist from NYC now in
Berkeley? Real good player. I have a playlist of 3 of her albums I play
while working outdoors (blasted through the open window). The plants seem to
like her a lot...
