(...) Hahaha! Guilty. I'm amused that he seems ("seems": I don't read his posts any more, but I do note what message he is replying to) to be going back and arguing with old posts of mine since I'm not posting new ones to him.

(...) Hmmm, it does make one wonder doesn't it? On a certain level Dr. Laura *recreated* herself a while back as an Xtian nut/therapist. My memory may be faulty here, but I don't think she has ANY of the perceived credentials that one would normally (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Hmm. I trust you're not claiming that the Dr. Laura Show is fictional as in "written and acted out". She does host a radio show, people do call in, and she does respond to them as presented.
