In the news this evening: A poll shows 6 in 10 Americans fear government will spend too much here. Congressman: Demise of old media mostly for the better here. Obama overrides Bush move on Endangered Species Act here. The GOP chairman backs off Limbaugh criticism here. And the Wild Card remains in play …

DFO you appear to have posted two Tuesday Wild Cards.

Well, duh, Sam. One is never enough for an exciting Tuesday!
Sam on March 03 at 6:48 p.m.
Fair enough. Was this exciting? I’m so tired I can’t tell.

Celebrating your wage reduction can really take a lot out of a fella :-)
Sam on March 03 at 6:59 p.m.
Innnnnndeed.

And tonight I’ve been asked to go play trivia at a bar, but I’m really, really tired. I’m generally only good for the “in the news” stuff anyway. :p

Well I see my son Sam the Reporter is back in action and still breathing after yesterday’s cut backs and wage reduction news at the Herald. Welcome back SammyT!
Sam on March 03 at 7:17 p.m.
Thank you, mother. I’m glad that we can connect on the InterWebs once again. Does this mean I don’t have to call anymore? :p I kid, I kid.

Truly, how many sons do you have who comment on HBO?
Three?
Sam on March 03 at 7:23 p.m.
Kage, I don’t want to speak for my mother, who may be surprising me with additional siblings, but I believe I’m the only one who comments here. I began commenting here about three years before my mother began commenting here.

Who else do you think is my sibling? Who do I need to haze or duct tape to a wall?
Kage_Mann on March 03 at 7:26 p.m.
Sam, do you have a brother named David T.
Stickman on March 03 at 7:29 p.m.
I am glad that the one known as Truly is in contact with the One known as Sam. Both great people, thanks for being on this site. I miss my mother, Sam. I hope you always keep in contact with yours.
Stickman on March 03 at 7:37 p.m.
As for the Kage man, I will leave any comments in the future for Truly, who was disappointed in the fact that you didn’t show up. She wanted to hug you and slap you, go figure, but I would never speak for her. She is definitely her own woman, and I like that about her.
Stickman on March 03 at 7:41 p.m.
Of course you have been missed Sam, including me.

Sam, I met your dear Mother at Blogfest and at one point she was on her knees and…oh never mind. But.she.is.good people. Keep being the good Son you are.
Cindy_H on March 03 at 7:44 p.m.
My favorite question is when people ask me if Kevin Taylor and Sam are brothers.
Of course, I always say yes.
heh

Stickman, maybe, I’ll swing by this summer after I get back from picking huckleberrys and as long as the gang isn’t around to whack me with a stick. ;-)
Stickman on March 03 at 8:07 p.m.
I only know Sam and Truly, and maybe BobT someday. But, only If Truly ever brings BobT over to meet me.. A great family though, I like them very much.
Stickman on March 03 at 8:35 p.m.
Kage: I would never whack you with a stiick, though I would definitely give you one, must be my nature. We did miss you at blogfest, though for different reasons.
