Thanks Jake -- I appreciate your honesty. It's my understanding that a right-wing radio host was peddling this to you, and I'm going to assert that you gave their cause some legs. I wanted to give you a heads-up and an opportunity to comment. If you'd like to go on record with anything, please let me know.

Their cause?
