Just turned 67, and quite unlike most of my age group, I was never a big lover of America’s most dysfunctional First Family. It always grated me even back in the 60s that these people were seen as our version of royalty and the sense of entitlement that went with it. The biggest group of liars and 2-faced phonies to ever enter politics, IMO. I’ve never been able to stand them.

I was in high school when JFK was assassinated. My Dad, who had only gone to the 4th grade worked for the NY Central Railroad. He had come here from Holland as a small boy, was naturalized, and was a life-long Democrat. I think his Democrat leaning came from being a member of the railroad union for years. We children were expected to vote for Democrats. My first ballot at age 21, was for Humphrey. My last Democrat ballot cast was for Carter's first Presidential run. After that, I voted straight Republican. My Dad died in '78, and I highly doubt, that if he was alive today, that he could bring himself to vote for any Democrat.

If you haven't seen the latest article in The NY Post on the scrap between Paterson and Caroline, check it out because it's good for a laugh. Paterson comes across as a big baby, claiming she disrespected him, although he probably actually said she "dissed him." He got mad because he thought she had agreed to wait before dropping out, and that she was unreachable by phone for hours. I guess Caroline didn't get the message that she was supposed to drop everything and answer her phone when the big man calls. He sounds very childish. Here's the link:

Governor Says Caroline turned 'Nasty'

The title makes it sound like she's a dog who turned rabid.
