Several mornings a week about three to ten guys meet for breakfast at various places, usually in Marin County, California. Most are vets. We have some amazing conversations for old guys: we have enormous experience. Our senior guy is 80 and our youngest, 44. We are WW ll and Vietnam. We talk about politics, women--no subject is off-limits. My wife calls them my "girlfriends." After our talks, I usually summarize our thoughts on the blog.

America's Moral Leader
This is a mystery to me. The only Republican candidates who have had any real ideas are Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry. Huntsman has already gone and Perry is out the door. Huntsman wanted term limits and Perry to reduce Congress to half salary and part time. Neither one of them got any traction. A mystery. I could understand Iowa Caucasus, people smokin and jokin and New Hampshire is a bunch of Yankees. But, SC, I don't get it. I've listened to some South Carolinians who are going for Newt: really, they are actually voting for Newt because all of us are sinners saved by grace. I've thought for some time that the Republicans have their brains bottled in formaldehyde. This clinches it. Newt., even the Democratic moralist, Bill Clinton, would call Newt a moral pigmy. Takes in his paramour while wife is gone, eating off her dishes and sleeping in her bed. Wants open marriage, an old idea but with a new ideas Newt twist. But, the biggest issue is that he is rivaling the Guv of NJ in being fat. Which wife did he divorce when she had cancer? Now, a good Catholic and since the Catholic Church is the only true church, anything he has done before gets a pass. And, present wife is in elite Catholic choir and when Newt becomes the proud Republican president, her choir can sing at his inauguration.
