I can't get my blogger to work, so I guess I'll have to log in as "anonymous"
Batiste is the real deal, isn't he? A leader with guts who isn't looking down the road to his next lobbying contract.
Just when you wonder where the leaders are - they're here.
Thanks for putting this up.

You bet Mary, he sure is the 'real deal'. I just wish he was still in charge of something... Thanks for checking in.
