She had the great scoop on that goofy yahoo Cal Skinner, (who I think is really Foklaes!) and a wonderful exchange that saw Louis getting bested again. I think she's got better sources and perhaps her ear's just a little closer to the ground, TA! Do you really think the map that she already has up on the EYE is going to be any different? And, if so, isn't that just the source of another post?
