You can tell I’m a trained, professional observer, on account of the way I notice stuff and remember it later, like that Jason Bourne guy.
I said to that reader in that e-mail much earlier today that I thought I saw something — I even specified, "a banner" — about the "FairTax" in the background at the Fred Thompson event. And now I go back and look at the stuff from my digital camera, and bingo. Dang, but I’m good. Mind like a trap.
It was even in the background of a couple of blurry shots I got of the lovely Mrs. Thompson. (And for those of you with differing tastes, that’s the lovely Katon Dawson off to the right.)
Of course, I didn’t make much note of it at the time. I mean, who’s going to stop and think about obscure banners in the background when there’s more interesting stuff to concentrate on…
… such as, the exciting possibility that an exciting guy like Fred Thompson might get into this exciting presidential contest?
By the way — has he done that yet? I haven’t been paying attention.

he’s in it, or should we say, the D.A. from “Law and Order” is in it.
Brad,
You were right about DeMint and the FairTax. It was indeed “the” FairTax he was running on back then.
The plan I was thinking about was the “8 1/2 percent” plan he introduced jointly with Lindsey after he got elected. That’s the one I referred to as a hybrid plan.
This makes me proud, because it means I was right about SOMETHING yesterday.
I have "8 1/2" in my queue at Netflix; never seen it. But there I know I AM confused, because that was Fellini.
