was SO not a fan of Barbara Bush, least of all when she said
this about the thousands of refugees crammed into the Astrodome:
"So many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged
anyway, so this, this is working very well for them."
Or when she said this about the imminent invasion of Iraq: "Why
should we hear about body bags and deaths? It’s not relevant.
So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"
Or when when giving her opinion of Geraldine Ferraro: "I can't
say it but it rhymes with 'rich'."
However, she was correct when she said, in hindsight
of the worst economic meltdown since the Depression thanks to
her
son's
eight
years of bumbling: "We've had enough Bushes."
Rot in hell, lady.

Harry Anderson wasn't supposed to be a TV star, and he was never
a good actor, but I always enjoyed
his
take on comedy and magic and I mourn his passing.
And
so I leave you with Harry the same way I found him, on a 1986
Showtime special called "Hello, Sucker!"

As for Carl Kasell he was, in his later years, NPR's answer
to Don Pardo and we knee-jerk liberals couldn't get enough
of him.
I lament
never having the opportunity to have his personal voice message
on my home answering machine.
I know his soul did not go
heavenward but I do know his voice is faintly being heard
by distant civilizations intelligent enough to develop
public radio. Though what they'll make of the "Listener Limerick
Challenge"
is anyone's guess.
