Message to Will - I need your help!!
Will you please help in any way that you can help to promote Scott Ritter in Dallas on the 24th of June? Do you think you can show up in support? If you say you can, we will fund the trip.

S & D B

1. Wow
That's a hell of a nice offer. Unfortunately, the 24th is a Thursday, and I'd have to bail out on truthout probably for two days in order to get down there and back. That's a hard nut to crack.

But it makes me think that now might be a good time to write something about him. How does 'Ritter was Right' as an essay title grab you?

5. Will, this is absolutely for real. Would you please show up with Ritter?
I will pay for it all. I don't want an essay, I want you in the crowd. I will make sure you are front and center with Scott. Will, would you, could you, please find a way? If an essay is all I can get then okay, but I want more. Sorry, I know there is a time crunch, I'll help with the money.

14. It isn't the money
It's the responsibilities I have with truthout every day. I can't take a Thursday-Friday off right now.

6. okay this is really dumb but how about. . .
"Ritter was Righter"

Ugh I know. . .but attempting to trump the right wingers on their overt recklessness is a somewhat unrealistic but lofty fantasy of mine.

especially in light of all this REAGAN REAGAN REAGAN
diefication.

I'm truly nauseous from all the distortions of his life and legacy.

19. If an essay from you titled "Ritter was Right" is the best we can do,
I accept. We just would so much like to have you there with Scott. Thank you for all you do.

11. You may want to...

12. I won't start a pay pal account, and we aren't buying lots of lottery
tickets. We all are very tired of all Reagan, all the time. I'm very serious about Will showing up for Scott. Please help me facilitate that event. I will do everything in my power to make it be a major event in DALLAS.

I think most of us in Texas are Regan'ed out.

13. Just a joke...
Will's my buddy so I can tease him about his copious consumption of alcohol. I'd hate to see a fellow liberal go broke keeping him alcoholically lubricated. :)

I'll do what I can to help with your attempt to get Will back to Texas. I'd like to see him again in person quite a bit. :)

And yes, I am beyond VERY tired of Reagan.

20. Hey, didn't Aaron Brown say Ritter was radioactive and yell at Pitt?
Maybe you ought to invite Aaron down to your little soiree. Let Will and Scott serve him a plate of cold crow. Now that sounds like fun! :)

22. When ya get invited to a party in Dallas by a guy named anarchy
ya kinda expect things to get wild. A Bubble machine and monkeys swinging off the chandeliers--that sort of thing. :)

25. Not trying to mess up your seating arrangement
I just really would enjoy seeing Ritter and Pitt tag team Aaron Brown.
Those two took a lot of abuse from him, and he turned out to be wrong, yet he never acknowledged the fact.

26. You didn't mess up my seating arrangement, all you did was insult.
I have a DU TABLE FULL>=

I am looking at maybe needing another DU table, would you like to come? You are welcome.

27. Didn't mean to be insulting, just silly
I humbly apologize.

As it is, I have no idea what this event is that I have crashed with my crude attempts at humor, but I wish you well.

Scott Ritter told the truth about WMD, and he deserves to be acknowledged for speaking out when it was unpopular to question Bush's war.

Good luck with your event.

24. Just a sweet, short kick up.
For all us "Texan's" and all the rest. Especially the anarchists. Happy Birthday, 1957 and forward.
