    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I am reminded of a contest, from years back, that some newspaper held.

      "Write a limerick using the words 'Kazynski,' 'Lewinsky,' and 'Clinton.'"

      There once was a gal named Lewinsky
      Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
      "Twas Hail to the Chief"
      On this flute made of beef
      That stole the front page from Kaczynski.

      Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
      "We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
      Since you made such a mess,
      Use the hem of your dress
      And please wipe that stuff off your chinsky."

      Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
      What Kaczynski must surely have known
      That an intern is better
      Than a bomb in a letter
      When deciding how best to be blown.

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        So, I asked Chat GPT...

        There once was a gal named Lewinsky,
        Who caught the eye of Clinton so risky.
        In the Oval they'd meet,
        While the nation took heat,
        Till Ken Starr made it all rather frisky.

        But let's not forget Kazynski's plight,
        A bomber who caused quite a fright.
        His manifesto in hand,
        He wreaked havoc on land,
        A twisted mind seeking power and might.

        So Lewinsky and Clinton, their scandal well-known,
        While Kazynski's madness was sown.
        Different paths they did take,
        With choices at stake,
        In history's pages, their stories are shown.

          What an interesting story about him. Harvard at 16, PhD in math. Kind of a demented genius I guess.

            Skynet taking over, will be the vindication of his manifesto.

            Education is extremely important.

              Yeah, maybe so.

              But, look at the quality of the limericks I posted which were written by human beings and compare with what ChatGPT spit out.

              There's still hope - for a while.

                  Now they are saying suicide. At 81? In a prison hospital?

                  How and why? I find this doubtful. He's already been in nearly 30 years. Why now?

                          Me: "So, it looks like Ted Kazyinski died by suicide."

                          Mrs. George: "What? Why would he do that?"

                          Me: "Really, he's been in prison for, what, 40 years, and now he decides to commit suicide?"

                          Mrs. George: "Right. How old was he?"

                          Me: "I believe 81?"

                          Mrs. George: "That's what he died of."

                            As my grandfather would say, “at his age he died of shortness of breath”.
