  1. I watched the repeat of last week's show last night. As I watched the reaction of the audience to Poe's tall tale of his service, it was easy to see how much the troops are loved. It also showed that this man hurt people across the country when he decided to lie about all of it. I wonder how the people in the audience feel after they cried for him because I sure do feel bitter toward him now.
