Dear Friends and Patriots,

The VIDEO conversations continue.

That's what these videos are. Just a couple of guys jawboning. We are "fluid" in our dialog, or maybe the proper term is 'extemporaneous.' No script. No rehearsals.

Jud is far more disciplined in front of a camera than I. My unconscious need to scratch every itch is evident. My eyes bother me a lot, and I do rub them a bit. I'd make a lousy actor because of such things. That, and the occasional silence while I'm trying to remember the precise word or reference I need to make a point.

There are things about Show #9 that need a bit of elaboration. The first is the backdrop. We are working to find an optimal light solution. This show was video'd in very low light, which accounts for the grainy look and the halo effect around me later in the show. The light behind me is from a doorway that's only partially obscured. The variation in lighting made insertion of a backdrop unachievable, so Jud settled for the green screen reveal. Yes, that's the green screen that's in my dining area.

There are a couple of other things to note. One is the presence (or omnipresence) of the other residents of my home – the four cats that inhabit my downstairs areas. They like attention focused on them, not us. If you listen closely (which I hope you DON'T) you'll hear sounds of their presence. This show LuLu chose to NOT jump in my lap, but she was nearby, creating mischief.

I was going to comment on one other aspect of this show, but decided I won't. I'll just let each of you deal with it, if you figure it out. We don't do these to please anyone but ourselves, really. Each of you may take or reject any or all of it as you wish. That's what the First Amendment is about – freedom of expression. If you find anything said in the course of the show to be contrary to your own understanding or you want to disagree, you might debate it with me, as is your right. I'm always open to criticism, debate, corrections, or admonitions. Fire away, if you wish. No one can please everyone. Neither Jud nor I are trying to do that. We're just being ourselves, for better or worse.

This vid isn't as long as the last. Those who actually watch and listen may say "YEAH!" to that.

This isn't our last word about the election, either. Things are evolving and moving forward rapidly. More and more is being revealed. We intend to discuss that. You'll see.

In Liberty,
