I wish you tons of newsprint and mountains of success
It’s not news to proclaim 2011 will be filled with news! But this morning, it’s late, I’m rushing to get FoxPolitics News out to subscribers and I have little time to wish you a joyous, productive and news-filled 2011. I’ve surely enjoyed having you here in 2010, sharing the news with me.
It’s my hope, of course, that you enjoy the news stories I spend the early mornings searching out, then (hopefully!) thoughtfully prioritizing as most important or impactful or useful. But more than that, I hope that you too are developing your own news nose, finding new and interesting sources, constantly assessing the credibility and reliability of a news story, always determining for yourself what’s fact and what’s opinion and never failing to read the news from the right and from the left.
As a fellow news junkie and capable citizen of our great republic, I wish you tons of newsprint reams worth of success and happiness in the new year.
Jo Egelhoff, FoxPolitics.net

Wishing you a wonderful new year. Thank you for all you go through to bring us Fox Politics every day. You are a hero.

Jo ~ Only the best for you and your family in 2011. I have enjoyed you bringing me the news from various sources and presenting them in an easy to read "Cliff Notes" format. I especially like to open my e-mail and find out what is happening back in WI while we are away for the winter. I hope to be reading your news for many years to come.

Thank you Jo for all of your hard work, effort, and professionalism you put into FoxPolitics. Happy New Year! Thanks for organizing the "good" news out there for all of us who are interested in what is going on. I like to think of it as "thinking harder" made easy with the help of Jo Egelhof.

Jo - Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this. It's generally the first news that I read in the morning. Even though I read news from other sources, you always include items I was not aware of. So again, thank you for all your time and effort.

Thank you Jo for everything you do to provide us with this news source and outlet for comments. Happy New Year to you and your family! From my family to yours, we wish you all the best in what do in 2011. As one that doesn't receive the local printed version of the newspaper, I appreciate the daily e-mailed articles and news from FoxPolitics.net
Keep up the good work and thanks again for everything you've done for the City, County and State Citizens.

Great years of hard work Mom. Thanks for all the updates from home, the provocative blogging. Now YOU deserve tons of SLEEP and all the next successes.

Che bella ragazza !! Have a happy and healthy New Year......Ciao.guido

Jo:
I would echo the rest of the comments in that you provide an invaluable service by giving us the news of the day on the local, state, and national level. I can't tell you how many times I use information that I have read in the news articles to inform others what is going on.
No one person would spend the time you do on a daily basis to dig into stories of interest. Keep up the great blog and I wish you and your family a great 2011!

FoxPolitics: Like coffee and donuts for your political soul! With a side of Nueske's bacon, of course, "the Rolls Royce of rashers."

Oh my you guys, I didn't mean to be searching for compliments - but I surely do appreciate your encouragements. Wonderful to know you are all out there, soaking up the news. Thank you!
Jo (Fri Dec 31 15:00:54 2010)
Thanks, Jo for all your hard work and for the very interesting daily blog.
Best wishes for the New Year.
