Suffering from Clintonrrhea

Far be it from me to get worked up about some book, but I refuse to buy a book full of lies.

Clinton fan Greg Packer, who had camped out since 4 p.m. Monday, was first in line, he said, to get a copy for his father’s 80th birthday.

Poor bastard...you can’t pick someone other than Bill Clinton to be a fan of?

“It is difficult to imagine an American reading ‘My Life’ by Bill Clinton, tossing it on the nightstand, and saying ‘Eureka, we have to have John Kerry in the White House, I just figured it all out.’”

Kerry’s campaign has said it is not concerned about the book.

Oddly enough, the Kerry campaign doesn’t seem to be concerned about the Kerry campaign either.

Happy Birthday, Nana!

Today is my mother-in-law’s 82nd birthday. (Nana is not her real name, just what the family calls her.) She has two children, four grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren, one of whom turns 21 later this year, so great-great-grandkids are not that far away.

“On this day in History..." is usually the way things like this are done. But how do you celebrate just one day in the life of a woman whose life spans most of a Century?

Think about it… When she was born, the Great Depression was still seven years in the future, Warren G. Harding was still President, and there were only the 48 contiguous States (Alaska and Hawaii were still almost four decades in the future). Women had only voted in one national election (the 1920 Presidential), and they were still Inaugurating Presidents on March 3rd. The very first “talkie” (motion picture with sound) was still 10 months away!

She’s seen a lot, and has remained a wonderfully sweet lady, with a lot of style and class. So join us, raise a glass to her, and wish her a very pleasant birthday.
