The Best and Worst of December 5, 2002

First, the worst...

Few people I know can boast of a life free of bad drunken experiences. In fact, even at my advanced age, I still have a few now and then. But I have to believe that will change a great deal when I father a child. Sure, I'll still drink and maybe sometimes to excess. But--and it seems so obvious it is almost silly--taking care of the kiddos will come first.

I only bring it up because if the most irresponsible person I've run across in the last few days. Read about this immature, stupid, redneck bitch here.

Now...the best...

Today, South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond turns 100 years old. He was once a segregationaist wacko, but over the years has become one of the most revered men in South Carolina and Washington D.C. He now retires having helped more people on an individual basis than probably anyone who still breathes. And what I like most about the guy...he's a horny old man who doesn't mind telling the ladies how much he loves them.

Happy birthday, Strom. May you live another 100.
