Damn. And I was in such a good mood today.
He was a terrible president. I admired his post-presidential work with Habitat for Humanity, then lost some respect for him when he started criticizing Bush.
Is B0 likely to make it to 90? Maybe not. There has been talk of heavy MJ use since he took his “extra tokes” while smoking weed with the “Choom Gang” in high school, as well as heavy tobacco smoking [at least] since then. Then there are the multiple reports of B0 snorting cocaine, not to mention deviant sexual habits (such as his frequenting “Man’s Country”, one of Chicago’s “grand old bathhouses” in Chicago’s “Boystown,”). All these poor habits argue that his living to a ripe old age is a bit unlikely. Tobacco and MJ smoke damages the lungs, cocaine use damages the heart, and sexual deviancy can lead to a host of medical problems. His lifestyle is that of someone who plans to “live fast and leave a good looking corpse” (to borrow a phrase used in NYC during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s). He may have to be lucky to make it past 65-70....
