yep. prohibition was a right wing moralistic crusade. glad he took
advantage of it.

Joe, made most of his money in the stock market. Ran up the money during
the runup to the 28 crash. Was smart enough to see it was a bubble and
bailed out with the money. Probably made a bunch more on the decline.

During election time, Sen. Ted Kennedy is the first one in the polling
place . He draws the curtain shut, and is in there for a couple hours.
One of the election judges asks another what's going on?

Hey what's up with the Senator?

I don't know.

Well, go find out.

OK.


So a judge walks up to the booth to inqui

"Excuse me Senator, are you OK?"

"Yeah, whats the problem.?"

"Well Senator, we're concerned that you've been in there for almost
two hours.."

"So? I'm just getting started."

"Well Senator, I'm not trying to rush you, but there are others who
need the booth to vote as well."

Then the embarassed Senator said:

"Vote? Oh my! I thought this was a Confessional!"


All joking aside. Even though we're on the oposite sides of the isle,
thank you for your long lasting service to the country Senator. You
will be missed.

Yep - as did my maternal grandparents.

Made a regular run from some little burg in Ontario on the Lake Huron
side down Lake Michigan to Milwaukee and by road down to Chicago.

Gramps brother was a brewmaster and had a brewery hidden in my Uncle
Dave's barn outside of Racine. :) Later became Miller's Chief
Brewmaster after Prohibition.

Later gone liberal and legit, sort of?

Yep. :)

Don't get all huffy Donny. It is often difficult to make sense out of
your comments.

I consider it an insult to be lumped in with a coward like Ted
Kennedy. I hope he suffered no more and no less than Miss Kopechne
and I hope his hypocrisy is judged fairly in any afterlife.

Don't be too rough on Donnie. His IQ is 87.

Nice response, dummy. Are you proud of yourself? The guy was a drunk
and let a woman die. Only his head was "bigger than life".
