Seems to me that she can't quit bitchin in the kitchen!

 

That's cool though that Gryphon's town made the national news!

 

I'm not sure that this is something to be proud of though..... Hey, JonBenet Ramsey's dad is my neighbor, so we've got ours too! (And John Ramsey is doing some work for my company right now). He's a great guy to know!

 

Nacho!

Yeah, I'm glad this Marcia Stirman isn't my neighbor, either (I'm staying in Arkansas now!)  I grew up in Alamogordo, and couldn't wait to leave! 

 

I did end up coming back a few times as an adult, but fled again at first opportunity....  My eldest son and his wife still live in that town, however.....      Sure hope she lives on the opposite side of town.  Somebody may burn her house down.  Politics sure brings out the worst in some people.   

Xer,

 

John and I have talked a little bit about JonBenet, but not much really. He's open about it with me, but I don't ask many questions. This is why I know him.

 

This is a man who lost an older daughter in a car accident, then JonBenet, then his wife Patsy to cancer.

 

His house is awesome! He's alone there, so he doesn't spend much time there.

 

I drove him to the airport last week and we had a nice talk. John wants to get back into business, rather than the media. But he's willing to use his national contacts in the media to help build a young business like mine.

 

This is where we're at.

 

Nacho!

His son is 21, student down at Purdue University.

 

Nacho!

This saga continues.....   The woman who wrote that Letter to the Editor is now refusing to Resign her post, even after being requested to do so! 

 

Now, I wonder if Keith will cover this, too!

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) The head of the Republican Women of Otero County says she won't resign that office and rejected a request to resign from the county GOP's executive committee after writing a letter calling Barack Obama ''a Muslim socialist'' and saying, ''I believe Muslims are our enemies.''

 

The letter from Marcia Stirman, a 56-year-old interior decorator, was published Oct. 21 in the Alamogordo Daily News. The letter, ''Why I'm a Republican,'' listed 16 reasons for her party affiliation. She wrote it after the newspaper published another letter titled ''Why I'm a Democrat.''

 

Stirman's letter prompted a quick response from the New Mexico Republican Party, which said she does not speak for the party and that her comments do not reflect its values and beliefs.

 

Otero County GOP Chairwoman Sassy Tinling said Oct. 23 the county party's executive committee would meet to ask Stirman to resign as head of the Republican Women.

 

But Stirman said Thursday neither Tinling nor the county party has asked her to step down from the post, and that she plans to seek another two-year term as head of the group when it elects officers next Wednesday.

 

Stirman said she received a letter Tuesday from Tinling asking her to resign from the county GOP executive committee by Friday, but said she has no plans to do so.

The Associated Press left a message Friday seeking comment from Tinling.

 

Stirman said her comments have been misunderstood and she never meant to suggest all Muslims are enemies of the U.S., only those ''who are trying to kill us.''

 

She added: ''Can you say that all Christians are good? Absolutely not.''

 

She said she's received more than 700 telephone calls at her home about the letter, three-quarters of them positive. She said, however, some calls were threatening and she filed a police report.

 

Her letter prompted Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a national Islamic group, to call on state and national Republican Party officials to repudiate her ''divisive and intolerant views'' and ''anti-Muslim comments.''

 

Asked to respond, Stirman told The Associated Press last week: ''I don't trust them at all. They've sworn across the world that they are our enemies. Why we're trying to elect one is beside me.''

 

Obama's Kenyan father was Muslim, but Obama grew up in a Christian family. Although he has professed his Christianity repeatedly and explained how his Christian faith shapes his politics, he has battled Internet-fueled rumors throughout the campaign that he is Muslim.
