playing and praying at being an old-timey Texan

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Connie,

I saw an ad on the tube for volunteers
to play at being an old-timey Texans for
six months which you wrote about 
earlier.

Weird concept!

Feels like I'm surrounded by old-timey 
Texans even it is.

On a related subject, I used to think that
with the election of Nixon we finally had 
a  president from nowhere at all.

Bush whatever he is is not a Texan
but pretends to be one. French president
Chirac is said to have asked president
Chretien of Canada after first meeting 
Bush "What planet is he from?"

"De quelle planete est-il?" <-practicing my French

At least Nixon didnt play-act at being from 
somewhere. And he didnt do the God bit
until at the end when he was cracking up:
Kissinger writes somewhere that he was asked 
to get down on his knees and pray with Dick
just before the resignation. Imagine Kissinger
& Nixon down on their knees praying to God!

If I were God watching this I'd puke. As He
is probably puking right now every time the
current White House has one of its frequent
prayer meetings.
