24. Kicking for my mother

Sat Aug 31, 2013, 04:46 PM

Aug 2013

Mother had a fun streak, was a good sport, liked to mimic people, liked dogs and comic strips. We Dems like TRUMAN for his give’em-Heck, but with her, liking him also was a little about his quirkiness, and this was shown that she liked the Snuffy Smith comic strip and then in real life PEROT (not that she would vote for him against a Dem).

What I like about him is how he was a pain-in-the-, uh, I mean, a BURR UNDER THE SADDLE for Rethugs/the BUSHes. And now, a burr for Texas wingnuts with this Planned Parenthood thing.
