From here.

This post was 3 times longer before I dumped a huge schizophrenic tangent I got caught in.

Ok, here's a test, 2 questions:

1. Off the top of your head, tell me the rate of unemployment in America on December 6, 1941, to the nearest tenth of a percent.

2. Off the top of your head, tell me 3 things Winston Churchill said between 1940 and 1941.

Should be easy, right? One question is about the super important economy of your own country, and the other is a question about some old dead dude in... umm... aforiegn place that defended his country against another that would see it destroyed.

What's important?

1. Don't know, but it was probably pretty damn high. Even after nearly 9 years of FDR "leading us out of the Depression," things were still pretty depressed---quite possibly thanks to FDR. But I digress.

2. Funny you should ask; I've got a book of his speeches (from our local library) right here.

Long day of drink but sounds good to me.
In marriage there is always one person right. And the other one is the husband.
