A tribute to NSMA. Kudos for being so far-sighted.
That's Nothing Shocke Me Anymore, of course.

I remember a while back she was highlighting the problem with privatizing the military. This was long before the Iraq War. It didn't seem like a very sexy issue, with all of the other things going on.

But now that so much is coming out about the abuses of contractors, overruns, etc. she has proven to be very prescient.

So Kudos to Ms. Ahead of the Curve.

2. She's one of our best DU'ers. Sharp as a tack, and able
to think five steps ahead. DU wouldn't be DU without NSMA.

9. Not only that, but the thing I like best about NSMA is her
kindness and love. It's so nice to see that wrapped up in a package along with sharp intellect.

10. Oh, without a doubt.
She never fails to post in a thread where a DU'er is looking for encouragement, sympathy, empathy, or whatever is needed at the time. Okay, "never fails to post" is probably an unreachable standard, but I'm confident that she posts when she sees the opportunity, and she sees more than most.

I'm not a frequent poster, really, but I'm a constant reader. NSMA is what we should all aspire to be. She's the best.

I'd say I had a crush on her, but I know THAT ain't gonna happen! :evilgrin:

6. She does make you think.
She's so dead on, and also about the corporate take over of America.

7. Yeah, but what do we REALLY know about her?
How does she "know" so much? What are her "sources"? Why does she seem to have all this information "before" everyone else?

Hmmmmm.

8. Her sources are the same as everyone else's. She
is so much better than the majority in gathering and interpreting her data. Another :toast: to NSMA.
