Are Proof Dollars Made With Segmented Collars?
Joe Boling writes:

Regarding the article about proof coining at the San Francisco Mint, are presidential and Native American proof dollars being made with segmented collars bearing the edge lettering? I know the circulation strikes are still getting edge lettering in a separate operation, but this article says the edge lettering at SF is applied at the time of primary striking.

Distinguished Warriors Not All Far From Battlefield
Joe Boling writes:

About the Distinguished Warfare medal - I agree with the decision to cancel its introduction, but the statements widely published about all of its potential wearers operating "far from the physical battlefield" are not necessarily correct. Some (perhaps many) of these remote operators do so from within the theater of operations. While not out humping the boonies, they are subject to the same risks as anyone else working "in country."

On Gradual Change
Last week I described “the Revolution of the Moderates”:

(Leader) What do we want?!
(Crowd) GRADUAL CHANGE!

(Leader) When do we want it?!
(Crowd) IN DUE COURSE!

Bill Eckberg forwarded this image. To which I replied, "Down with Darwinism! Up with Creationsim!" My next message was "Down with Creationism! Up with Darwinism!" Bill responded:

You sound confused. I recommend many years of intensive and expensive psychotherapy.

Fake Note Fan Mail
Pat McBride writes:

I loved the article about the Indian hookers getting ripped off with the fake notes. Well done !!!
