Okay, so apparently every group needs a host and we don't have one here....

If absolutely no one else wants the job I'm willing to give it a try. I'm not any sort of leader, have never even been a mod after 10 years on DU, but I'm told this just is so simple even I can do it.

I was a history major in college in the early 1970,s not that it really matters. That was back in ancient America when we assumed Richard Nixon would be the worst president in our lifetimes. Such sweet and innocent days....Anyway, I still read a lot, am retired, and have lots of free time.

If anyone else is interested I will gladly step aside and back you 100%. Just think how good it would look on your resume.....

Doubt it will involve much of anything considering the traffic we get.

to serve as group co-hosts. Your support will allow me to build a political machine that will someday rule the the world, or at least DU3. Now I know how Huey P Long felt!
