I belong to the practical wing of the GOP

Ah, that must be the wing that's still pushing for world government. Got it. LOL.

I belong to the admittedly tiny group of Americans who still believe in a Constitutional Republic and a rule of Law. Silly us.

I was lucky enough to draw Strom as a dinner companion at a DC dinner a couple of years ago. He recounted his experience of landing in a glider in the Normandy invasion. He had resigned his judgeship in order to enlist. He's a great American, and I wish him a wonderful birthday.

Happy Birthday Senator

Wow! Ninety-nine years old! Incredible. I hope he serves out his term just to
piss off Hillary and her sock puppet Daschle.

Happy Birthday, Strom! And I mean it, unlike that hypocrit, Yasser Daschle, wishing him a happy birthday when every wishbone Yasser sees is used to wish for Strom's death.
