We all had White House clearance because occasionally we would play there.<br /><br />We held occasional drills on how to get out of the way in a military and professional manner when the SS came barreling through. It was tough on the drums because they couldn't move without getting in the way. We finally made a deal with the SS. Go thru the Horn sections.<br /><br />It made everybody's life easier.DerFarmhttp://yellowdogpolitics.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-61930355462800448172012-02-16T09:16:32.259-06:002012-02-16T09:16:32.259-06:00I can remember my brother ("let Reagan be Rea...I can remember my brother ("let Reagan be Reagan") saying that he hoped "this one don't get killed so we don't have those bleeding hearts voting in a broad".<br /><br />To those of us not right wing and raised in the Deep South his choice of VP was extremely important. To be frank, few of us expected him to live this long. It still surprises me, sometimes. I hope I remain surprised.DerFarmhttp://yellowdogpolitics.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-71446559522980112022012-02-15T21:41:33.181-06:002012-02-15T21:41:33.181-06:00To lighten up a bit, here's one of may favorit...To lighten up a bit, here's one of may favorite SS-doing-their-job photos:<br /><br />http://www.scouttufankjian.com/#/images-from-the-barack-obama-campaign/barack-obama---short-edit/BHO-029nellcotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-301095305773740542012-02-15T19:51:53.076-06:002012-02-15T19:51:53.076-06:00Credit where it's due...the post is by the bri...Credit where it's due...the post is by the brilliant writer "LowerManhattanite".<br /><br />If you search around the groupnewsblog he's got some other great stuff.nellcotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-5374537811438103452012-02-15T19:19:16.443-06:002012-02-15T19:19:16.443-06:00You and me both, my dear.
