They both dodder and stutter; take their time; seem always anxious to take their pills. Both are theoretically young but they're staid and set in their ways; wooden and repetitive; comfortable in life; eager to get away from the toil and pressure of being President. Neither of them are the very least hungry - for power or anything else. Their teams consist mainly of even older men. You can easily imagine naps and grumbling; hot chocolate and biscuits; senescent "insouciance"; "Dallas" and "Murphy Brown" reruns - and even indifference. Easily.
Whatever happened to youth? Even the most generous fortyish definition of youth? Does this matter at all?

That is truly the worst picture of Kerry I have ever seen. Posting it may be very good mojo for him!
I'll miss y'all! Almost time for that pre-flight cocktail or three!

Posted by: thomcatspike on October 21, 2004 03:27 PMSpeaking of lost youth...Oct 22nd is eyeballkid's birthday.
Dude is getting OLD.
Posted by: salmonberry on October 22, 2004 01:16 AMin honor of said birthday, I think we all should ball kids.

Happy birthday! Celebrate with, I dunno, monkeys and rice pudding and pastrami.
Or something.
Posted by: Vidiot on October 22, 2004 11:37 AMFeliz compleano, niņo del globo ocular.
May your beer be cold and your pudding soft.
Day of birth, she is sweet and fine. I wish you rest and girlie drinks.
I have been painting with the windows closed.
Is this a 'poorly veiled references to masturbation' thread now? Aces!
I've been perusing the Pentateuch.
