I know good ol' Barry Goldwater called him 'the crookedest sob in politics' - and that was while Lyndon Johnson and a whole host of others were still around <g>

I think one of history's great ironies is that what Joe Kennedy did in the 60 election couldn't have happened to a more appropriate opponent <s>

>The list of 200. Sammy Davis Jr. was on the list. Anyone on that list of Nixon's was audited by the IRS, for starters. Such a loving person was Mr. Nixon. Remember how he was forced by the Quaker Church to resign?

>>Are you too young to remember Nixon's enemies list? When it came out the people who were really offended were the ones who were left off <bg>

>>>Went back and looked up the last conversations I had with these people. Here are the basic reasons I chose not to deal with them any longer. I know there was more to it, but this is the gist of what caused me to hit the Twit button:
>>>
>>>Denis Chasse: Inane passive-aggressive comments. Just got tired of the insults dressed up in childish wit.
>>>Evan Delay: Extreme liberal views bothered me at first. The anit-USA condescending attitute clinched it.
>>>Jean Laeremans: Just got tired of his attitude. Always attacking and being smug about it.
>>>Chris McCandless: Incredibly condescending and insulting.
>>>Naomi Nosonovsky: Weary of trying to communicate with her. She is never wrong. It's always someone else's fault.
>>>John Ryan: I can't really tell why. We disagreed a lot, but didn't see anything too heavy.
>>>Terry Thurber: Oh my God. I can't even begin on this guy. Or girl, I never really knew. What a shmuck.
>>>Peter De Valença: Very tiring to read. Same thin arguments over and over. The Great Thin-Skinned White Knight.
>>>
>>>I was actually surprised at some people who are not on my list.
>>>
>>>Ok, bring mine on. I'm sure I'm on a filter or two. If I can dish it out, then I better be able to take it too. Oh, wait. Those people aren't reading this anyway.


Charles Hankey

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
