Thought I might 'respond' to a few of your 'wishes'. 1) Would be thrilled to have a car that is younger than 18 yrs. and still runs! 2) TV??? Who has time to view it? Live my life for a day and find true REALITY!! 3) Why watch 24/7 news anyway? Life is stressed and depressing enough - I don't need to watch how bad the rest of the world is! 4) Why teach multiple languages when I have a hard enough time with our native tongue English?? (and so do most children!) 5) I would LOVE jury duty!!!! It would get me out of the house - with pay - and allow me to see how blessed I really am compared to others! 6) Isn't 'Trader Joe's" that place down by the creek that you trade gummy worms in for the real thing? (and you want a bigger one???? Kook!) 7) Sewer problems??? I told you to do what we do.....dig a hole in the back yard, put a wooden box (with a round hole cut into the top) over the dug hole and hang a shower curtain around it. Ta-Da! Instant privy with no back-ups!!! 8) And finally your desire for grandkids...........you have 3 teenage nephews who still qualify as children that you are welcome to have for a trial period of 5-6 years. If that don't float your boat....you can practice on the (2) eighty yr olds that I am currently housing. They have the same needs as children - diapers included - only you can't put them in a stroller or use rolled up newspaper on them when they are bad. Think about it..... Oh yeah, forgot to tell you; "Happy New Year"!!!! Well big bro….would you like a little cheese with that whine??? excuse me that was supposed to be plural…whines!

As far as "electability" goes, I must have been swept away by the wish list theme. Bias?...I’m an evangelical, how could I also be a libertarian?

I probably should have included "electability" in the list which would have taken care of Ron Paul. Ken …do you have a libertarian bias that is showing?
