Since I haven't read any farther than Helen's post I have no idea what Evan's answer is. Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe he was asked by individuals if they could generate a petition on his behalf to judge. Just a thought. Hell I've asked a certain Judge about running for the Board. Bob Neiman / Walled Lake, Mich.

Who asked?? When did they ask?? Was a petition circulated for you?? What year would that have been?? I ask because a group of us were surprised by your post and could not remember this ever happening.? We know you have your following of listers that like your comediac posts, and?comedy is a very good thing.? But we really were wondering about what you said. Even those that enjoy your replies are wondering. Helen ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2008.
