Alas, girls have different tastes in brilliant put-downs, i guess.....
No put down at all. Just my typical weak attempt at humor.

Was too a put down. Kris Kristofferson socked it to Tom Hayden.

I was very amused by such creative OTT devastation.

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required — not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
JFK at his inauguration

Duh.

I thought it was my most recent contribution, where I responded to your Milton quotes, in which the text didn't carry over.

You're right on Kris, other than his statement could pass for a personal insult. Seems like I read once where Kristofferson was not only a Rhodes Scholar, but a captain in the Marines.

But don't quote me on that.

My wife Mary and I have been married for forty-seven years and not once have we had an argument serious enough to consider divorce; murder, yes, but divorce, never.
