Thanks, Jamie, Catherine, and Knucklehead…he reads Simon but i’ll remind to look in…yes, no fun, especially since Bob is a real nice guy, without a mean bone in his body. But–and this goes to your pot o’ coffee suggestion, Knucklehead, which he to no avail made a stab at (Bob said the typewriters that’d do the docs were there, and to say otherwise is “ridiculous”), any given Bush supporter trying to talk politics with any given Democrat, especially if there’s a several decade maturity gap, is gonna get that sad little smile, that slow head shake, that aww, such a shame! eye-roll. I mean, the Strongs are good people, salt o’ the earth…but Bush is Bad! Why? Just IS!

If anybody ever limns the psychology of this true phenomenon, please, tell me! Also, if anybody ever figures out how to spell ‘phenomenon’, I need that, too, These here sure don’t look right.
