Peronally, from the late 90's through 2005, my closest friend and confidant was a convicted murderer.<BR/><BR/>So Obama has lots of friends. I don't. This might lead some to believe that I pick my friends more carefully than Obama.<BR/>Probably not, but I guess this means I can't (or shouldn't) be critical of Obama solely for the Ayers association.<BR/><BR/>You would have liked my friend. Popular opinion, to which I subscribe, is that he never killed anyone.<BR/><BR/>I am reminded of the movie Tombstone, where a very ill Doc Holliday (played by Val Kilmer) is asked why he is helping Wyatt Earp.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Why you doin' this, Doc?<BR/>Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.<BR/>Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Friend?

I might be wrong, but given what happened in the market in the US today and in Asia this evening (and many of us, me included, have money in International funds), McCain wouldn't dare spend all evening talking about mishegas.<BR/><BR/>This is a scary situation, especially for people who retired and living off of their stock portfolio. McCain will bring up Ayers at his own peril.Daniel Spirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656412977046134771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680602048847357735.post-17405177570596263692008-10-15T10:21:00.000-07:002008-10-15T10:21:00.000-07:00Alas, no Fred Astaire tonight, Panaderos, nor Paul...Alas, no Fred Astaire tonight, Panaderos, nor Paul Newman. But I'll find something non-political for sure.<BR/><BR/>I caught some of Paul Newman Day, and there'll be many more. Saw <I>Somebody Up There Likes Me</I> for the first time. I'm looking forward to some replays of <I>From the Terrace,</I> in which he's a nice guy and everybody else is wrong. He did a lot of that, now that I think of it. This time he's not an outsider; he makes a lot of money and lives in a big house with a shrewish wife (Joanne Woodward says she loved playing this role because they made her look like Lana Turner).Mary Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515655542270431289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680602048847357735.post-25468297428319260742008-10-15T09:34:00.000-07:002008-10-15T09:34:00.000-07:00I wonder which McCain will show up tonight. :DI l...I wonder which McCain will show up tonight. :D<BR/><BR/>I love Turner Classic Movies!
