As reported on Fox:
John McMorran, of Lakeland, considered coffee his elixir and quit cigars at age 97. He was born June 19, 1889, in a log cabin in Michigan. He was the fourth-oldest person in the world.
"He was never sick," a 35-year-old great-granddaughter, Lisa Saxton, told The Ledger of Lakeland. "He lived a great life. Obviously, he was well put together. He smoked cigars, drank beer and ate greasy food. He was an amazing man."
Going through boot camp at Parris Island in 1965, we were constantly told we were the lowest form of life on earth. Nothing was lower than a Marine recruit. With Cochran, and many of his ilk, I wonder if the Corps has changed that. Surely a Marine Corps boot is above lawyers.

The Right Reverend Jesse has this to say:
Bushs move drew strong criticism from Rev. Jesse Jackson and other Democrats. The veteran civil rights activist, speaking with MSNBCs Lester Holt after the Bush address, said it was unfair, dishonest and a distortion to call the universitys policy a quota program. Jackson said the presidents logic is flawed and inaccurate, and that Bush has made a very calculated political decision, no less on Dr. Kings birthday, to put forth an extreme civil-rights position.
Jackson told The Associated Press that Bush was intentionally flaming racial fears for wedge politics.
I always thought Jesse's entire agenda was to intentionally flame racial fears.

The other drugs used include antipsychotics presumably for autistic and other serious disorders and antidepressants since biological childhood depressions are now thought to be more prevalent than previously assumed.
Maybe this is because they sit in front of a TV or computer all day and don't get out and play games like most of us older folk did when we were growing up. Oops, I forgot, most of those games, like tag, red rover, dodge ball, etc., have been banned because it may lower their self esteem.
Seems to me it may make the kids try harder to succeed.
Nothing racist intended. We just need to regain control of our country. I'm tired of supporting illegal immigrants when the "true" US citizens need to be taken care of. Sorry to have offende you.
