[RJB]

You should if you love endless wars, wounded vets, refugees from countries we destroyed, etc.

If Dick Cheney says anything, there's a 99% chance it's wrong.

Dick Cheney is a good hunter from what I recall. He always hits his mark.

A man who shoots lawyers can't be all bad.

Nobody should be listening to Dick Cheney or his stupid daughter.

LIZ CHENEY ought to be listened to, also. KEEP IN MIND SHE MIGHT DO A POTUS RUN OR TWO OR THREE. Same can be said about RAND PAUL. Agreeing totally with LIZ CHENEY or any other politician of the hour begs a question. KLUDGE once referred to Rand's neat little senatorial forum area as the "kiddie" forum that has had some quite appropriate parental controls placed on it.

i see it this way.... BIDEN may choose to retire after one term. He was born in 1942, in 2024 he will be 82 years of age. Easily one third of the voters who vote often and for a Democrat wanted BERNIE to be where Joe is right now. Thing is, i expect an active string of primaries concerning both of the very large political parties who dominate the political landscape. PENCE even has POTOMAC fever and now perhaps hypothetically thinks THAHHH DONALD is the Anti-Christ from a very ancient prophesy...he worries about his flock being corrupted by the man. This all makes 2024 complicated. KAMELA VERSES BERNIE on one side, MIKE VERSES THAHHH DONALD on the other....as JOE BIDEN HAS ME THINKING OF JAMES MICHAEL CURLEY AND GOVERNOR AL SMITH FROM NEW YORK STATE.

Only people old enough to suffer from memory lapses are apt to remember James Michael Curley, who, between World War I and World War II, was elected Mayor of Boston four times, Congressman four times and Governor of Massachusetts once, and who spent a brief spell in jail during his last term in City Hall, for a mail fraud incident. "Scandalous Mayor," tonight's somewhat sentimental offering from "The American Experience," at 9 on Channels 13 and 49, catches a style of politicking that has gone the way of vaudeville.

Curley, whose parents came to America around the turn of the century on what he called the Irish Mayflower, was a champion of the immigrants in a city controlled by descendants of people who had come over on the real Mayflower, more or less. Movie shorts of the period picture the Irish as happy-go-lucky clowns, not so different from the stereotype of blacks.

Curley rode into office on class tensions, labeling as goo-goos the good-government opponents who kept investigating him. He never went beyond fourth grade, and for all his reading of Shakespeare and lessons in diction and etiquette, he could not shake off the title of lowbrow mayor of a highbrow city. But he had the gift of words that went down well in Boston's wards.

In office he laid on public works in the form of hospitals, parks, beaches, schools -- a legacy that Bostonians continue to enjoy. The general assumption that he was taking kickbacks from contractors did nothing to hurt his popularity among the people who received jobs and sometimes handouts. Tonight's well-written narration places Curley in a tradition of politico as part godfather, part social worker. "Here comes himself," his constituents would call when the Mayor strutted by." UNQUOTE
