Hey, don't be pokin' me. You and I have opinions. I greatly respect your'n. As the dastardly Teddy Kennedy responded when I asked him why he was such a shit, "we can agree to disagree."
Speaking of that befuddled creature ( I assume license with my comments since I was raised in "Taxachusetts"), do you recall...
Well, I do recall its being called Taxachussetts when I lived there for the school year of 1962-63.
I also remember the youngest and least noble of that generation of Kennedy brothers running for senate that year. (Holy s..t! He has been in there for 42 years now!) I remember one of the most bizarre campaigns I had ever witnessed -- but I assumed it was Taxachussetts' business as usual, and could be convinced of that to this day. (After all, they still vote him in every six years.) The field consisted of three of the oldest-money scions in the state. TK won with the slogan, "I can do more for Massachussetts." That was code for, "My brother is the president, so I can get more pork for our state than either of the two incompetents that I'm running against. Not to say that I'm competent -- I could never convince an unbiased jury of that -- but I CAN do more for Massachussetts."
TFlan, I think we've found something we can agree on here.
Yecchh! DaveT
