It is dangerous for a national candidate to say things that people might remember. Eugene McCarthy |
We had dinner with the usual suspects last evening. Alan, Glo, DD, Mom, Tracey and I gathered at the Cracked Barrel again and even got a fairly good waitress. My only complaint was the pitch of her voice was just high enough and loud enough to set my bad right ear to ringing. Not her fault I know, but I sure hate when that happens! I was surprised to hear my brother mention that many of the guys he works with will be voting for McSame because they wont vote for a black man. Some of them still believe that Obama is a Muslim as well. And to think we live in the 21st century? We didnt dwell on politics too so much but did get nostalgic about some of the things we remembered from childhood. Like the Caterpillar Christmas programs at the Bradley Fieldhouse where all the kids got a Christmas stocking and free refreshments. How grocery stores used to have people take everyones stuff out to the car. And a lot of stuff that was unique to our own weird little family. |
Democratic presidential hopeful, Hillarity Rotten Clintoon, D-N.Y., steps away after a statement to the press at Sunshine Foods in Brandon, South Dakota Friday, May 23, 2008. She quickly apologized Friday after citing the June 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in defending her decision to keep running for the Democratic presidential nomination despite increasingly long odds. |
How is Married Life? Not long after the marriage, Tom and his father met for lunch. Well son, asked the dad, how is married life treating you? Not very well, Im afraid. It seems that I married a nun. A nun?? his father exclaimed. Thats right. None in the morning, none at night and none unless I beg. The father nodded knowingly, and patted his son on the back. Why dont we all get together for a nice talk tonight? Toms face brightened. Say Dad, thats a great idea. Fine. Ill call and tell Mother Superior to set two extra plates. |
