Ted Kennedy hasn't had a drink in a month!
I just got this in email:

CNN Breaking News: Former Vice President Cheney shot another lawyer in
his ongoing attempt to interprit William Shakespeare's Henry VI play.
Mistakenly Mr. Cheney said that he "there is no doubt" that he's
related to the character, Dick the butcher, who uttered the famous
quote.

Nom=de=Plume

What kind of idiots read that dribble?
Oh yeah..Dingy Dan and the rest of the Dopey Army. No wonder America
is going to 'ell in a handbasket.
nom the plum isn't a dribbler. A little haywire, maybe.

I was referring to Dingy Dans post. Sorry to confuse the easily
confused.
Oh; You mean the bit about Kennedy being on the wagon since he died. Ya
that was a little sick. Besides, he probably left word that he wanted to
be embalmed in scotch.

What's so bad about that?
We had a great hero pickled in rum before being returned to Halifax.
"The Battle of Baltimore
Unaware of the huge force that he was facing, Ross is reported to have said
before the battle, "Tonight I'll sup in Baltimore or Hell". Riding at the
front of his forces, Ross was hit by a sniper. The bullet passed through his
right arm and into his chest. He was removed from the field and died shortly
afterward beneath a tree on the farm of Robert Gorusch.

It was intended that his body be shipped back to Ireland for burial and
consequently, his body was removed to the flagship HMS Tonnant. In order to
preserve the body during the journey, it was stored in a barrel of Jamaican
Rum. However, the upcoming Battle of New Orleans prevented the return of
Major General Ross to his native soil and he was transferred to the HMS
Royal Oak and subsequently buried with full military honours at St. Paul's
Church, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Nonetheless , the Ross Monument in Rostrevor looks vigilantly out to sea
awaiting his return."
