I think he's got a spot as major domo of the Playboy Mansion. I missed Slick's address, but I did hear the applause at the end - so he must have apologized to the nation for being a liar and complete disgrace. He must then have announced his plan to resign for the good of the nation, noting that as a ridiculous person he cannot viably hope to lead men and women into war and possible death. But can that be, wouldn't he need a conscience?

Serious question for once. Can an impeached former President claim unemployment insurance ? Good question. Impeachment alone doesn't count; he'd also have to be convicted. I believe, however, it's still not a judicial proceeding in the real sense of the word, so that unless he were subsequently arraigned in a criminal case, and lost, he wouldn't have a record. But I have no idea whether former felons are eligble for unemployment insurance. Might depend on whether in fact they'd ever been gainfully employed. Do we feel that politicians are gainfully employed?

Mike, Janice, All, Maybe not unemployment insurance, but not too many years ago there was a physician in Southern California who was convicted of Medicare and Medical fraud. He lost his practice and his license and was sent to prison. This person then proceeded to file for Workmen's Compensation for stress, stating that his stress was induced by the above work-related tribulations. He won his case and collected his Workmen's Compensation benefits in his prison cell. I guess anything is possible. Before you ask, no, I'm not making this up. BTW, Janice and Mike, I found those long lost posts we were talking about. They are on GOOFS. I just didn't look hard enough the first time. They are classics! There's more, too. Holly
