I have been giving a lot of thought to my friend who voted for Bush. I feel bad that I was so quick to insult my friend's intelligence. This person has been a real friend over the years. I guess I just thought that I knew him better, and that I was angry at myself for not having the power of persuasion necessary to bring him out of the darkness and in to the light.
A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.
