To John Lee Hookum and goharley,

It's one thing to attack a persons politics--it's quite another to personally attack a person because of their politics.

This time every summer the kings come into Elliott Bay and during the week when the Bay is closed to boats I enjoy jig fishing for them off Seacrest pier in West Seattle just up from the Don Armeni boat launch in the morning before work.

I am formally "volunteering" to meet you there tomorrow before 8:30 AM to give you an opportunity to attempt to personally attack me to my face.

Then you you can find out for yourself exactly how afraid I am to fight to protect my country, my family or indeed my own honor.

Just ask for Scott--everybody knows me.
