As a member of the media at a small, weekly paper, I just received TWELVE Republican convention press releases between 4:15 p.m. and what would be 1:45 a.m. (Eastern time)

AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakk!!

I want to shoot the computer screen with each succeeding bit of drivel on the convention. (no, the Democrats were far from this obnoxious)

Hmmm... I see it's some group that's NOT AUTHORIZED BY A CANDIDATE that's sending them. LMFAO! Oh yes, and I supposedly signed up for them. Blah, blah, yadda, yadda... get listed in a news editor directory and I *guess* you signed up!!

Here's an example of one that especially touched me.....

Just dying to ask this...

What is your opinion on the comparison between white fuel, alchohol, and propane/butane for cooking?

Is there a trade off between using sil-nylon and heavier more waterproof materials?

How would you classify the need to carry three one liter Nalgenes versus one 3 liter Water Bladder?
