I was just reading the IMDB memorable quotes page for the Cohen Bros. version of True Grit., and so I had Rooster Cogburn in mind.  Where is EJ?  Can he make Peter look like Rooster Cogburn?

When Ol Pete relocates and buys a spread, rides a horse and proves his shooting skills, well, that takes more than a big hat and eyepatch.

Ask any Texan. It is a Stand and be Counted thing.

I notice the writer equated capitalism and facism.  Modern facism was founded by Mussolini.  Mussolini was a member of the Italian Communist Party until breaking with them on a matter of election tactics.  The proper equation is facism and communism.  The communist propagandists unceasingly try to equate facism and capitalism.  We should never allow them to get away with that false charge.  It is our duty to the principles of clear thinking to call the communists on that misrepresentation at every opportunity.

Ron, did your comment break through a fence? Seems like it's wandering Texas hill country without a conversation.

Hey guys, it looks like the recent meet ups haven't been tagged/posted in the "Meet Up" thread in the members section.

Also, is it possible to have some kind of feature to alert members to upcoming local meet ups? Perhaps a little red notification could appear at the top of our page once a meet up is scheduled within X miles of our zip code?

Or even an "Upcoming Meet Ups!" calendar that displays the next few dates on the main page sidebar. This could also include links to local events where members could click an "attending" button and perhaps coordinate rides, scalp tickets, etc.

Sad to say, Peter, I won't be in Texas during your visit. Another time.

Someone should invite Sam Elliot to Ricochet. Even Teddy Roosevelt couldn't help but express some conservatism while donning a mighty 'stache like that.

A fun evening, y'all. Thanks, Peter, Ricochet team, and fellow members. I actually rushed out of there so fast I forgot to pay my bar tab---turned around and came back though :P
