He didn’t build that, that was John Kasich and Newt Gingrich*
*Actually the recovery was well on its way before the 1992 election day.
It was a 50/50 shot at the sex. Mea culpa.
Overall, I was pleased with Turthy’s dental status and hygiene, with his paying the bill on time, as well. But, I was disappointed at his self control when I dug into a nerve and he didn’t jump from the chair. I mean, I gotta have fun also....
You and I know that that needs to be tweeted ad nauseum when he goes on tonight

Thank you! It seemed natural, given who is gathered there, like one of the traveling carnivals that used to come through the rural areas of Texas in my childhood.
We used to get to hang out with the carnival people, because my grandparents were close friends with a couple who were lifetime carnies-they owned a show that traveled around Texas and the rest of the South from Spring to Fall, then spent the winter in the Valley, where most of my family lives-early winter Texans. I developed a fascination for that footloose lifestyle for awhile-step right up, ladies and gentlemen!

It’ll be passive-agressive and narcisistic.
If it was an opera it would sound like this “me me me me me me”
We can only hope-most of the time, he can’t resist, as long as he has an audience and a microphone...
You know-he would be right at home in a Gilbert and Sullivan production-”When I was a lad, I served a term as office boy in an attorney’s firm...”
That’s funny!

Good job!
It was late but glad you liked that....
