Maybe I have an affinity for Andy Griffith because we both grew up in North Carolina.
I'm more concerned about members of Congress being drug-free than I am about members of the Yankees or Giants.
In the United States I have always believed that there was a big difference between Conservative and stupid. Boy is it getting harder to prove that one by the minute.
It's a brave new world. I'm 42 years old. I certainly wasn't out in high school.

Reaction - a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.
