The Republic Party is NOT dead. You know that story about Pat Brown

[cali]

and President Kennedy talking after Brown beat Nixon in the Governor's race in 1962? Kennedy called Brown to congratulate him and said, "Well, Pat, I killed him and you buried him". Brown reportedly responded by saying, "Yeah, but nobody's pounded a stake in that bastard's heart".

That's how I feel about the Republics. No stake. Not dead.

1. And Pat Brown was probably California's greatest governor

and he was defeated in 1966 by Ronald Reagan.

goes to show you.

2. That's a great story. I have no memory of Pat Brown, but I do own a first edition of his

book "Public Justice, Private Mercy: A Governor's Education on Death Row," a book that changed my opinion about the Death Penalty. He seems like someone I would have admired enormously.

His son, Jerry, is someone I admire enormously.

You are right. This shit will never end. We just have to find some way to circumvent it.

I am clueless but open to suggestions.
