Yeh, that remark about me not being around a few elections down the road was a dumb thing to say.

I think I quoted myself out of context. Creeping senility. My grandchildren are going to be around, and i won't be here to help, and I worry about what I'm leaving them.

I would like to be sure America will still be around when I'm not. This is of course an overstatement, but once you elect Hitler there's no use planning several elections ahead. Bush and his merry men have already done more damage to the country than Osama. Or McVeigh, though he doesn't seem to be considered a real terrorist.

Last election I thought it was ok if Nader was a spoiler; that if we got the lesser of two clowns as president it would get somebody's attention. But the lesser clown has done more damage than I would have believed. I see in this morning's paper he has twenty appointments ready to make while congress is in recess.

If you're anemic you need better diet & pills; if you're hemorraging you need a tourniqet & a transfusion. You won't be around for the nutritional treatment.
