Old foggey 'eh. As a proud Canadian, I will tell you that the bailout of Citi Group just solved all the problems of GM and Ford. I would reccomend buying these stocks now. It is apparent that Citigroup, holds most of the financing of these corporations. We can, as shareholders stop paying the executives, large bonuses, and at the end of the day it will be the consumer in America, who will fall, or (barely) survive.

Thought I had added a comment here ages ago. Must have got caught somewhere.

What can one say about oldfogey except that he epitomises the best of Newsvine. A leader to follow.

Wow! Having these words coming from you means a whole lot.
I want to thank you deeply and honestly for such inspirational words.

I will head into your page tomorrow and dwell with your, as always, great essays.

OldFogey dearfriend, Once again..THANKS!

Thank you for being here.

People have said lately that newer 'viners from the MSNBC acquirement may soon overcome the classic users that have been here since the beta days. oldfogey is someone on Newsvine who can not be replaced.

— Brandon Kiser

oldfogey adds a ton to Newsvine. Always constructive, always thinks before he acts, and never negative. And always gets his point across. You earned your spot here Jerry.

— Andy Min

I had long appreciated Oldfogey's comments and articles, but only recently took a good look at his column and biography. I don't know what took me so long.
Oldfogey consistently brings intelligence and charm to the 'Vine and his words and actions are a fine example of what can be achieved with the tools and information available to us all if one only decides to work hard at doing good.

Thanks for raising the bar for us all, Oldfogey.

Happy New Year to you Oldfogey. I am glad to have had the opportunity to be around while you are passing out your quality brand of Wisdom and Diplomacy. Thanks.

You can say it's just a website but sometimes, by example, you learn important things. Things about applied compassion, things about how small graces,incrementally, can define and illuminate both you and those who you meet along the way. Oldfogey is a wonderful teacher.

Hetep and Respect, Oldfogey is a Republican, but he is also and honest man, who is in favor of peace and justice and I can vote for that any time.

Without old fogey, Newsvine would not be the same. He adds a certain gentleness and wit that are rare. He has the ability to disagree with you, yet not come off as a know-it-all. Old fogey debates the best of 'em with class and respect. We can all learn a lot from him.

Old Fogey, I appreciate your honesty and experience. Cheers.

OldFogey is a great Newsvine journalist with years of experience and a great amount of wit and wisdom. We are all better informed for him being here. Now, if only he could figure out the darn spell check!

— Darrell J. Rohl

oldfogey is an old school farmer with a new school attitude on life in the internet age. His commentary around Newsvine is witty and charming, yet the photos he provides of his buddies and him make me want to hoof it over to his place for a good 'ol game of cards and a cold beer.

— Milkdud

oldfogey has snuck under my radar for long enough, probably because he's not usually found hanging around with troublemakers ;)

I've recently spent some time following his commentary around the site and I confess that I've become a big fan of his wit as a result.

I love the photo of him in this article.

If we are to get press credentials for users one day, oldfogey will be at the top of that list.

— Calvin Tang

I hope I have the same intelligence, writing ability and interest when I am half your age.

— cp33

oldfogey is just about one of the nicest guys there is on Newsvine. Quick to offer constructive thoughts and insight, you just feel a little bit better knowing oldfogey is on your side.

So thank you for being here =)

— Corey Spring

These incidents happen in the absence of leadership and oversight. How do troops get out of the chain of command long enough to commit atrocities? The command doesn't care or would rather hide problems than admit to them.

Thanks for saying that, oldfogey!
