Congratulations on your 18th birthday!
And – seriously now – have a succession plan to continue CHB when Doug Thompson eventually retires.

I revel at times, both sides of our editor and while missing the old fire I discovered a new way to find open honesty and equal retraction.
So here we are with he said, they said, some wind bags blow mighty on election minded eons.
When and where does sensationalism stop in the face of common sense and a populace retain their dignity Sir ?
Why is an open untruth allowed to be repeated for effect Sir ?
Can the press regain credibility without micro fitness of some low hanging fruit distracting, and instead find those willing to serve but for the popularity ?
Pop said, those is chose. Happy B-day C.H.B.

Congratulations to you, Doug, and to all of your exellent, dedicated staff!!

You’ve raised this baby through the formative years and it’s now almost a young adult…It’s grown and learned and as a consequence, we, the readers have too.

Superb site!!

Happy Birthday Chief. I didn’t have the respect for this site until you came back after a terrible illness. I soon gave up many of my other sites that tried to give me many opinions on what ran D.C. They were wrong. I thought CHB was just another opinionated site until I logged in again and found the site I needed to develop my interest in politics,. I had been only a Republican until that time with a few years working for Perot. I learned that one can be a great lover of American values without being only a Republican.

I love the idea that you are open to all ideas for the future. When both sides of the aisle fail to be our leaders, we can say so here and discuss it. That helps more than I can express.
