My post was for Mezz. No transgender joke...just unsure of Mezz's sex.
You always make your posts clear and I enjoy reading them.

I was responding to your lefthanded compliment about most leftys. Sorry that you read more into it than was intended.

He sure did. Did an excellent job of inspiring every young, aspiring businessman in the '80s to turn into Gordon Gekko. In 1980 we still had a LOT of industry left. Now all of the selfish punks have done whatever it takes to feed their own greed; downsizing, outsourcing, union busting.........

Now we are a nation of "brownfields" and low wage jobs.

Thanks, Ron. You were a real pal.

"Yessir."

"Go wash it."

Oh, that's funny, I shook hands with Nixon at 9 yo. It was at a party at the AF base in Marietta, GA when the C5 was rolled out. My uncle was a retired Air Force General. We got invited, so to speak.

I remember my dad wishing ,out loud, When Nixon stuck his head out of the giant planes uplifted nose, and gave his signature wave, " I wish the nose of that plane would slam shut and kill that MF'ER". This is not an exact translation.
