Keeps us young like you!

"And For You, Sir?"

Talk about Camelot all you want but - good Democrat though I may be - I am incensed  that John Kennedy demoted former President Harry S. Truman to a mere waiter at his inaugural soiree.   BILL

This is Why White House Press Secretary is SUCH a Challenging Job

Obama Accepts Transparency Award In Private

Try This Some Time

Next time someone says “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone,” step up and say “That would be me.”  This little gem has gotten me belly laughs at every stoning I have ever attended.

"No Drama" Obama

When he stated that we’ve asked Iran to return our felled surveillance drone, he proved himself quite the comedian.  The press corps should have broken into laughter and said:  “Good one, Mr. President.  Good one!!”

I Want My MTV! (And a Lot of Other Stuff!!)

Can anyone pinpoint when exactly – per the Declaration of Independence – our inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness was misconstrued by far too many as an inalienable right to happiness per se?

The Man With No Feet: A Christmas Story

This holiday season, I recall how once – mired in the self-absorbed petulance of youth – I complained about the quality of my new sneakers.   Just then, I spotted a man in a wheelchair, the stubs of his lower legs jutting prominently from the rust-adorned contraption from which he could never escape.

“Excuse me, sir,” I asked. “Am I crazy or are these the sorriest shoes you ever laid eyes on?”

“My man,” he said, his caustic laughter causing me to blush, “those are some sorry ass shoes!”

The Whisper Game, A Childhood Memory

In second grade, we whispered a phrase from student to student to see how it would change from beginning to end.  Chas Marwick whispered into my ear: “The giraffe was eating leaves from the top of the tree.”

I then whispered into Kimberly Johnson’s ear:  “I am so in love with you.”

By the time it got to the end, the phrase was: “Crazy Billy Bekkala says he’s in love with me.”
