    So Bill would not take kindly to my filling his email inbox with some buzz words that would send off alarm bells......

      He gets a certain amount of cred from the powers that be for battling Sean.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Yeah, but we got to go see our congressman and talk with him for awhile.

          My Congressman is probably best known for skinny dipping in the Sea of Galilee after drinking too much wine. (Really.)

            I get to see mine at breakfast in Texas about once every other month.

              Shared a table with Newt Gingrich when he was still a backbencher a couple of times along with both a past Governor and a future one as well at a small country restaurant called Clell's back in the day.

              I'm always still in trouble again

                    Hey!!!

                    But I think you should try to find some of those hidden tunnels and passageways they always show in the movies. And steal me a souvenir. Er I mean BUY me one. Yeah, that's the ticket. Don't try to palm the silverware or knick-knacks. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

                      Back in High School, our Debate Team went on a trip to our state capital, and we had lunch with Governor Smith. It was a VERY fancy dinner, and I was really nervous. Having grown up in a family with 8 siblings, I didn't have a CLUE about all those extra spoons and forks and stuff, and I was sitting RIGHT NEXT to Governor Smith. So, I just decided to watch him and do what he did.

                      We got our little salads first, and he put some salad dressing on his, so I did likewise, though it didn't look like any salad dressing I ever had before.

                      He took one bite of his salad, looked at me and said, "I think that was sour cream for the potato, not dressing". He laughed and said, "oh well". He asked for another salad "for me and my friend, here". He was my buddy!

                      When I got home and told the story to my Dad, he said, "Governor PRESTON SMITH?!?!?! He's a DEMOCRAT!!!!!"

                        I visited the white house and the capitol when I was in high school, and I got to see the Mona Lisa there. But dang she was ugly!
