Politicians Have More Fun Than Anybody

Now, then, if you think I am totally one-sided about politics, you're pretty close. Except if you remember Mary Jo Kopechne and sort of understand how I feel about that, well I come out pretty two-sided. It's just that I can't turn down cute pictures. Cleanup crews will probably look at this and say, "too bad."

I am having a "borrow" day. Ol' Hoss will borrow from his buddies so he don't have to be brilliant all by hisself. According to my florist buddy back there in North Carolina, this is the record of a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room service at an Asian hotel:

Room Service: "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest: "Sorry. I thought I dialed room service."

Room Service: "Rye. Roon sirbees...morrin! Jewish to oddor sunteen?"
