      RIP General.

      Wow. Amazing how old some of these guys are getting. These were the guys in power when I was out of college already. Now they’re dying in their 90s. Bush, Dole, Scowcroft. Baker’s still around. I think George Shultz turns 100 this year.

      Only non-witches get due process.

          Scowcroft was part of Bush 41's team. They navigated foreign policy with grace - a deft hand. I despair that we will see men of that stature again, at least in government.

                Ford or Bush?

                LOL.

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

                  I was 8 when Ford was last on the ballot.
