listen to the doctor
Gay and I read the Brooks editorial in the morning paper, Dave, and our reaction was the same. We knew Obama had to be a pretty slick local politician to claw his way up through Chicago politics. So is his high-minded campaign language worth anything? I think so, in the rarified and history-conscious environment he'll inhabit in the white house.
I should warn him, though: every single presidential candidate I have voted for either lost or was impeached for a blowjob. (For lying about a blowjob, to be precise.)
Packing for a three-week retreat entails hundreds of little decisions. Hope to be all packed tonight, except for things that will go into the last laundry. Then have a day to wander around finding things I forgot. Get on the train Saturday afternoon.
Just got a joke that made me laugh out loud:
This guy goes to the doctor to get his first prostate exam. The doc puts on his glove and sticks his fingers in to take a look. After awhile he says,
"Son, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is you don't have prostate cancer!"
The guy says "So whats the bad news?"
Doc tells him, "You'll have to stop masturbating."
"Why?" the guy asks.
Doc says, "Because it's making me nervous!"
(drum roll)
