Little Marilyn searches for a heart in the man that dropped the Bomb on two major cities.

Mondale said...: That's just about the coolest picture ever.
That's almost as cool as the picture of Richard & Pat Nixon that Weasel keeps on his fridge.
That's almost as cool as my mom meeting Hugh Gaitskell* in 1958.
That's almost as cool as dining with a personal aquaintance of Lyndon Baines Johnson who told me all about his ropey table manners.

weasel said...: The Nixon thing is a lie. What about your signed photo of Margaret Thatcher, Mr. Bowles? He sent off for it when he was 10 and a self-described "young conservative".

Great photo. You should recreate it at school. Mr. Bowles (if he crouches) looks a little like Truman.; February 07, 2005 9:47 AM
weasel said...: Oops. You know my fridge better than I do. That's Mrs Weasel's photo (taken by her grandfather) of VP Nixon and Pat acting as grand marshals in the Portland July 4th celebrations of nineteen-blufyhwerr. I take back the 'Thatcher' slur, I just thought you were calling me a Republican.

I have sat behind George W.'s old gubernatorial desk at the Petroleum Museum in Midland TX though.; February 07, 2005 11:17 AM
