An interesting observation.....
Dick Morris (a political commentator) looks at the four leading GOP presidential contenders in 2009 --
John McCain, Mitt Romeny, Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani -- and notes:
"The only one of these guys who hasn't had multiple wives is the Mormon"
This one, 'says it all', about what the basic philosophy of what our country
is all about, and how we are perceived around the world.
At a French airport... A group of American retired teachers recently went to
France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, was part of the tour group. At French Customs, he took a few
minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. "Then you should
know enough to have your passport ready." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible!" barked the officer. "Americans always have to show their
passports on arrival in France." The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well,
when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it
to."
Things I Overhear......
I was attending a class with a bunch of Marines one day and one of the Marines made a mistake. The instructor made
a comment about the Marine's lack of knowledge. The Marine's comment was, "Well, Sir, I did not join the Marines because
I was a straight A honor roll student." Just the matter of fact way he said it, we all laughed.
