I know we’ve (pardon the expression) beaten the subject to death lately, but I have to make this ironic note. On the one hand, the man from Camelot, the “Loin of the Senate”, gave us this gruesome scene on the left.
Then there was the young man on the right who regularly took a summer job as a lifeguard. The front page of the “Dixon Daily Telegraph” of August 3, 1928 credited him with saving a drowning man. In seven summers of work, he pulled 77 people from the water.
I think you know who I’m talking about.
Another inspiring historical moment — I love this!
Debate in Washington about how to respond to Iraq’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait ended when Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher telephoned George H.W. Bush to tell him that it was no time “to go wobbly.”
I’ve been to Dixon, Illinois several times, and that is one VERY proud town. It’s heart-warming.
Ronald Reagan is second to only George Washington, sometimes I waiver and put Ronald Reagan first 😉
Don’t forget to add millions to the 77 lives he saved when he had that damn wall torn down.
The media coverage of that self serving pig Kennedy who never worked a day in his life is revolting. He drives drunk off a bridge, thinks immediately how he must get the hell away from the scene so a witness cannot testify that he could not even stand up straight and then hides for over ten hours to make sure his BAC is low so they cannot accuse his of being intoxicated.
To mention Teddy and Ronald Reagan is the same breath almost seems blasphemous.
I guess it was a typo — the “loin of the Senate” but I think you meant Lion. Or maybe not…
Not!
there’s a set of legs one doesn’t mind seeing at all in shorts.
men like reagan understood the real meaning of the words ‘ public service’ not service entirely reserved for the advancement of one’s own big slobby self. but they are of a different generation of politicians and men even.
loins?…. oh, the humanity….. the thought of kennedy loins gives me the vapors.
Potent juxtaposition.
Thank you Maynard.
