The Helen word is getting out there - how NEAT! Here is an email I just

[helderheid]

got:

Dear Clarity,
I read about your outstanding, selfless and thoughtful support for Helen Thomas. True Inspiration!
I'm a singer/songwriter living just north of Houston(ironically in the shadows of Bush Airport) and wanted to share some of my work in support of your work and our mutual mission. I wrote "BushWhacked" in November but right now it's especially relevant!

6. Aha! As I said in another thread....

They are just jealous that they didn't think to do that to Jeff Gannon when he was forced to resign after his divorce from reality questions to Bush.

And it wasn’t that long ago that these very same “bastions of integrity” called the press were apoplectic upon learning that a “controversial reporter for a conservative Web site” had infiltrated their sacred ranks. While it is true that Jeff Gannon, whose real name is James Dale Guckert, had questionable credentials and an even more problematic past, the press was just as upset with the questions that, they say, were “so friendly it might have been planted.”

8. "once-upon-a-time UPI reporter Helen Thomas. A creviced stump of a woman,"

first line!

unfuckingbelievable!

[helderheid]

9. fuck em! :)

She got ROSES! She got ROSES! We love Helen and she knows it! WOOT!

12. done n/t

10. What Fugly People

they are - Bush calmly answered her my ASS. He was rude, defensive and oh yeah - lied again.

[Erika]

11. Clarity, Free Republic is even posting about you

Yeah for you and Utah democrats!

Too bad they enjoy making fun of elderly women, but that's the bushbots.

15. God I know i will regret this but... linky?

13. They are jealous of Helen because she is adored and her

work is appreciated. They get nothing for the venom they put on the Internet. No one has ever sent them anything, nor will anyone. Because no one cares about them, and what they think or have to say.

That is the worst place you can possibly be in life. No one cares. Sounds as hollow as their soul.

14. Both songs are excellent.

:cry:

I hope Tom will join us here, if he has time.

[Catrina]

16. Yes, it's a wonderful site and the work he is doing is so amazing

'The Forgotten Heroes' ~ they really do need attention. Wish I could listen to the songs, but I don't have sound ~ I'd like to read the words, but can't do PDF files, they crash my computer.

This is so wonderful ~ and the idea for the roses was so inspired ~ who would have thought it would get this much attention? Maybe the country is just tired of all the negative, sad news, the atmosphere that has permeated the country since 2000.

Seeing something like this tribute to a great lady cheers people up a little, instead of the same old mean-spirited we've all become so accustomed to.

Thanks for sharing this email, I'm going to bookmark Tom's site and I hope he comes to DU ~ I think he'd like it here.
