Sounded on the news like a country boy just got tired of playing and walked out.

Good for him.

OUTSTANDING!!

Some good news. Wonder if the media Big Three will even bother to report it. Russert might as well let the DNC sponsor his show, since they clearly appear to be in charge of it.

Thumbs up

Woke to this news today on Fox, great way to start the day. I'm sure his family feels the same. Thoughts and prayers out for those still in captivity...

Good deal, even better that he led them back and they caught two of the AWGs.
