A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well.Ah! What avails the classic bent,
And what the cultured word,
Against the undoctored incident
That actually occurred?
Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic. An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger. And now the sequence of events in no particular order.Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.Folks, let me point out something to you, because for a lot of people in Washington, they could not be more surprised if Fidel Castro came loping through on the back of a hippopotamus this Election Night. I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly. I've tried everything. I can say to you with confidence, I know a fair amount about LSD. I've never been a social user of any of these things, but my curiosity has carried me into a lot of interesting areas. If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all. Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas -- including this one.Texas: 32 electoral votes, another of the so-called big enchiladas or if not an enchilada at least a huge taco. The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth. The reelection of Bill Clinton is as secure as a double-knot tied in wet rawhide. Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
They may have turned this up, whether you had the Paula Jones case or not. But again maybe not, but again that's like if a frog had side pockets he'd probably wear a handgun. They say California's the big burrito; Texas is a big taco right now. We want to follow that through. Florida is a big tamale. This race between Dick Swett and Bob Smith is hot and tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long car ride back from the beach. This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex. Those of you watching and listening, get a cup of coffee or a spot of tea and join us back here in just a few moments. |
