accommodation in FaroMy answer was an unsophisticated blend of honesty, stupidity, and naivet. "Idon't expect to match him. In fact, if someone will donate a trophy to me, I will presentit to Mr. Gingrich at our first meeting, as the champion fundraiser in the Sixth Districtof Georgia."

I'd like to buy some fans to give out at events; looks like they'll cost about $1.25each. Yard signs are $3-$5, depending on size, color, etc.
