		<description>Michigander -  I like hubby&#039;s theory.  It&#039;ll be fun to see if that plays out. 

I was going to contact Ebay to ask what that revision meant (does it still say AL or has it been changed again?)   I did see that it was changed early on and that it coincided pretty closely with Maples beginning bid.  ( i think i read that correctly)  

But!  I&#039;ve decided to not care.  If it was fixed, so be it.  Everything she does is fixed so why not a charity auction ?  I hope the soup&#039;s cold, the bread&#039;s stale and that a server with swine flu (sorry AKM) coughs onto the overcooked pasta.    argh.</description>

		<description>BGal and others - If you click on &#039;revisions&#039; after going to the description it says &quot;state/province changed from __ to Alabama&quot; Sept. 8 /Sept 9 so it was revised quite a while back.

BGal you are not crazy - originally it said &quot;AL&quot; in the description and there was confusion (and laughter) that they meant &quot;AK&quot;. What I find odd is now I can&#039;t find Alabama in the description but oh well!

Hubby&#039;s theory is that Track is gonna be sent to Ft. Rucker (sp.?) Alabama before returning home so dinner will be w/him too. Happy, happy joy, joy for the fawning winner and oh so appropriate for the cause o:</description>

		<description>Someone should complain to eBay! Other people were bidding in good faith and this is rigged. Changing the location to Alabama right before it started? Give me a break. It&#039;s a fraud!</description>

		<description>Samper - I thought I saw something about tax deductions on one of the threads but it&#039;s all a blur now. 

I had a feeling that a regular ol&#039; American would win but thought perhaps the money would be paid by deep pocket handlers.  But c&#039;mon -  they expect us to believe this one ???    Someone messed up by changing the location from AK to AL.   There is no way that&#039;s a coincidence.  

And a defense contractor, of all things!   Total setup.</description>

		<description>I agree, buffgal!  Something just doesn&#039;t sit right on this.

I also too would have thought it would be some kind of &quot;famous&quot; person winning... for a &quot;regular&quot; person to throw that kind of cash around for a less than four hour meal with SP just seems odd.  

&quot;Famous&quot; folks wouldn&#039;t consider it more than mere petty cash.  A &quot;Regular Working Stiff&quot; would have to re-mortgage the house.

Is this tax deductible since the Road 2 Recovery folks are involved?</description>

		<description>f***l = the &quot;winner&quot; is Cathy Maples of Huntsville, Ala., who said: &quot;I&#039;m a big advocate for Sarah Palin. I think she has a lot of morals, and I would love to see her as president of our country.&quot;

A real &quot;winner.&quot;

		<description>I would also like to bid on a dinner with Mr. Morris! He should sign himself up for a similar auction (whether or not he wins, but especially if he wins).  He could find a similar charity benefiting Vets. . .perhaps one that is literary/books based. I&#039;d sure bid on it!

We have a great volunteer project in my state that contributes to the media and library resources of the local veteran&#039;s hospital.  Something like that.

I suspect there are many more Americans similar to Morris, who care enough about our country to listen to and talk with those we disagree with. Who exercise our freedom in the way it was intended. We just need to make the effort to make our voices heard.

It doesn&#039;t mean that those inhabiting the nether regions of political discourse should change their stance one whit.  Just that it is time for more moderate Americans, from the Left and the Right, to speak up, ADD their voices and contribute to the &#039;grey area&#039; -- embrace the contradictions and the facts that cannot be entirely pigeonholed -- in a thoughtful manner.  So many seem to prefer the safety and simplicity of the partisan stance. . .but there is so much more to American life than simple partisanship can ever provide us.</description>
