Does he have a thread going...or are you just talking to him on the phone??

If you are talking to him...thank him for what he is doing, (once again)...and that I will look forward to any pictures he can get.

I voted for Ford in '76 as well, but at this point in my life I believe all things happen for a reason and maybe we wouldn't have had the great admiration for Reagan if we had not the experience of a failed President like Carter before him.

"I want to be a good President. I need your help. We all need God..." Replaying remarks from his first address to Congress..."How could anyone be an atheist after all we've been through?"

ABC is the only network that shows these things in Los Angeles. Local Fox outlet...feh!

If we're still here when Clinton goes to that big bathroom-off-the-little-corridor-in-the-sky, we'll have to ask Howlin to do a LIVE thread in the Smokey Back Room. :-/

ABC is doing a decent job here..

ABC was also the only local, non-cable channel here in the Greater DC area to cover the execution of Saddam "live" last night.

I've gotta admit..I was surprised and impressed.

I wasn't old enough to vote for him (16), but he was responsible for my life-long obsession with politics. The night he was nominated seemed to go on forever and I was fascinated with how the nominating process and election were conducted.

The Scouts are at the WWII Memorial...

In a place of honor, as they should be. So unlike the disgusting treatment they were subjected to at the 'Rat convention in 2000.

pinz....I remember when I graduated from high school...during the early 70's....my father mentioned that he worried about my generation...

He said that after the idiocy at the end of Vietnam, (jon carry)..and he said that none of my generation is growing up well...

I think he is almost right.

Fortunately, in spite of a lot of us, this generation of young people has some WONDERFUL men and women that are going to represent very well.

You know the Nixon's story, don't you about how when Pat was teaching at Whittier High and lived in another town, and was dating another man, Dick would pick her up, and give her a ride home, even though he knew that she wasn't interested in him.

Eventually that perseverance paid off, and Dick got the girl that he loved so much.

My husband and I both are grads of Whittier High School.

Actually, all local stations in the DC/VA area are carrying this live. I just did my remote search. ;-)

He's absolutely right --- we're still split into two opposing groups.
