My second ex-wife was really kind of like a ship passing in the night. Only she turned out to be the Exxon Valdez.
Give Bush 10 minutes before you hammer him. I think he's going to surprise people. He sounds simple and uncomplicated, but maybe that's what we need now. He's not as stupid as everyone thinks. I like the guy.
Just curious. Does the president of the United States have any advice for other teenage boys in America? Wounded warriors, for example . . .
