OK, now that ESV is under control again, back to politics...
According to an article by David Gergen in the April 27th issue of U.S. News & World Report, page 76, Howard Baker tells this story about fading memories...
An older couple is watching TV. The man stretches and says, "Honey, I think I'll go to the kitchen and get some ice cream. Would you like some?"
"Believe I would, thanks." "Would you like some chocolate sauce on it?" "Yes, I would...but now be sure and write that down so you won't forget." Her husband glares, shakes his head, and marches off to the kitchen.
Twenty minutes pass as the husband rustles about. Finally, he reappears, carrying a plateful of scrambled eggs. "Why", exclaims his wife, "I told you to write it down. Here you've come back and forgotten my bacon!"
I wonder if Dick Armey would get it. <g>
