Oregon, isn't that the state where a any relative can commit you to the
looney bin? (Or is that Washington?)
I'm surprised the majority political party hasn't taken that tack with
all their Republican relatives?

3) To preempt the next question, I offer this: the reason I don't
respond to what I often consider Michael's maniacal rants from the left
is that there are plenty of others on this list who succeed at
expressing my concerns with his posts.
By the by, I've never met Wirt (although he seems like an interesting
guy and I share his love of good Mexican food having grown up in Orange
County, CA). I'm not sure he's a "liberal", to be honest, but he knows
far better than either of us.
