A joke my then 9-year-old told me once.

I think it was 1992, but i get old...anyway.

Bush, Clinton, and Perot are all on a jet when it crashes. Who survives?

Answer: the country.

I have thought wryly about that joke over the past 4 years many times. I didn't know if it was true anymore. I really did not know if my country tis of thee would survive the reign of trump.

I guess that's why I'm crying so much today. It's been a huge load and gone on for so long. Will any of us ever be the same after this?

Failure, instructs them to don parachutes and jump. The kid brings 2 bundles. Trump immediately grabs one, stuffs his arms into it and jumps. Merkel told the boy that he should take the one left since he still has his life to live. "Oh, no," the child says, retrieving another lifesaving bundle. "There was another one. The fat man took my back pack!"

I know it's stupid, but I don't remember jokes!

Soft spot for American Pharoah since the day he won the triple crown was the day, after a couple of months of trying to get an ailing kitten to nurse, but always having to resort to the godawful stomach tube, it finally nursed, making us both ecstatic... anyway, the strong morality expressed by Justify on the day of his triple crown win forever won my heart and respect, so he's my equine hero next to Secretariat, of course!
