That is breathtaking stuff. It is a great pity that the US does not have a man like him in the White House today. Sadly..unquestioning servility seems to be the order of the day both in America and elsewhere. However .. one man is not enough.

(My cynical side says she would drop him faster than she could say “I want Prada.” ) Women are such fickle creatures (and yes I can say that ladies, you know it’s true.)

When my girlfriend and I get together we can talk for hours! On the other hand, we do tend to at least have some substance to what we talk about. I am acquainted with and individual who can ramble on and on about absolutely nothing! This person feels that everyone must be interested in every minute facet of their life, right down to the growing of their toenails! They like to take many “detours” on the way to the end of the topic at hand and many a times I have forgotten what it was we were discussing (a term I use lightly because a discussion would imply a two way conversation) by the time they finish. I have found myself in the uncomfortable position of making abridgments by saying things such as “I do not need the details, just give me the end” or “skip all that bother, what is your point?”<br>
