Turns out it’s Mark Steyn today in for Rush, which is great because Steyn is a one-man badinage.

When I was younger I thought that getting older would be no fun.

Now that I'm older, I find that 50 is not so badinage as I thought it would be.

An occasional sip but never so much as an eighth or even a fifth. Henery took his Naive American-ness seriously. Wait a minute...You mean like His Lardship that English flatlander dressed up in his mama’s old clothes.

Naw, Henery was right enough there and had three wives to prove it.

Aw shucks...thanks!

Doing well, getting into the swing of the school year. We’ve had a touch of cool in the air these past couple of days which is a tantalizing tease but I’m sure the heat and humidity will return with a vengeance. It doesn’t cool off until November usually.

Hope all is well with the xsfamily.

Thank you! I have to work all weekend and then take off on a road trip to h-e-double hockey sticks. But I’m driving alone, so I can choose the music and volume. I told the son I would not be needing any of his CDs. ROR!

I forgot my favorite moment from the debate.

Rick Santorum said his dad was born in Italy and then I said to my friends and said “oh great, now we’ll have Santorum Birthers”
