I don't do this often, but there's a poster I want to recognize and thank

Sorry if this causes any embarrassment.

Jim Lane posts some of the best things I've seen on the tpp and trade issues. He's knowledgeable, writes well and is never incendiary.

So thank you, Jim.

I haven't been this moved since the day the birther queen, Orly Taitz, denounced me by name on her website.

Thanks also to the amazingly large number of DUers who've rec'd this.

I'm not sure about your statement that I'm "never incendiary." I do try to follow the maxim attributed to St. Augustine -- "Love men, slay errors" -- but I fear that, at times, I've fallen short of that ideal. Your post sets a standard that I'll seek to live up to.

I've read several posts here that were OUTSTANDING.
Please keep posting, Jim Lane.
