Ah, Which Promise to Break First?
Big News
A recorded Bill Clinton called and asked me to vote a straight Democratic ticket. As opposed, I suppose, to a gay Democratic ticket.
- Before I decide, I'm waiting to see if a recorded George W. Bush calls.
- I like recorded politicians. They never get mad no matter what you call them.

November 7th Now & Then

Jeanette Rankin of Montana became the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress on this date in 1916. They put in a special ladies room for her, but she never used it because she didn't have anybody to go with her.
U.S. President Lyndon Johnson established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting on this date in 1967. So, thanks to LBJ, now all Americans know how insects mate.
Evangelist Billy Graham was born on this day in 1918. Before he began preaching, Billy was a late-night disc jockey. And working the grave-yard shift gives you a lot to time to think about the grave yard. So Billy decided to devote his life to warning people to be ready when that great Chief Engineer shuts down their transmitter.
- Fortunately, Billy was never corny enough to put in those terms.
