First, I gave up the other drugs because I wanted to. It wasn’t easy. But I found that they sapped my ambition, and became the most important things in my life. I didn’t like that so I had to quit. Nobody made me quit though. But quitting was very hard to do.
Since I quit I’ve found that I can think more clearly, all of the time, and that I have more ambition. The quality of my work has improved drastically, and I have more money to spend as well.
Another side benefit is a much happier home life. Now that I’m not dependent upon recreational pharmaceuticals I find that I’m able to handle social life a lot better. Kicking the caffeine habit will be a tough one, especially around here, but at least it doesn’t turn me into a zombie.
Second, I really have no desire to enter politics. That was actually meant as a sarcastic remark on the politics of personal destruction that has so dominated the last several election cycles, particularly with hypocritical smears from the left.
You know, or should know what I mean. The so-called "Republican Culture of Corruption" preached about by the Democrats, while people like William Jefferson get caught with $90,000 of bribe money in their freezer, and not only get re-elected, but given a standing ovation by the Congressional Black Caucus on their first day back, just as a single example.
I don’t even think we need to discuss New Jersey, or the Seattle City Council…

Of course, LSU… The only proper standard by which to judge a person is their own standard… WJC was a dirtball, and the only times he got in trouble was when he pretended to be otherwise. We’re concerned with what you can do "on the job," so to speak; we don’t care what you do privately - unless you do privately that which you denounce publically, like Foley did…

You may amend the aforementioned to the extent that the public and private "person" become indistinguishable. If you assume we have a royal President - like the shrub seems to think he is - then any discrepancy is fair game… Capish? After all, Slick Willie claimed he had a private life, but the Shrub has never so asserted… Except when it came to the party girl twins…

Perri, I’d like to know two things: First, why did you give up those other drugs? You don’t have to answer, but I do hope it was because you wanted to and not because you had to. There is nothing sadder than being whipped by a damned molecule… Collaterally, you might consider using some of those "other" drugs to help break that awful caffeine habit… An afternoon doobie should transform that "feeling of worthlessness" into "I don’t give a rat’s ass" and thereafter the only thing you will feel like murdering with a shotgun is the evening’s tranquility, "murdered" by shooting it harmlessly skyward, or perhaps at paper targets or maybe clay pigeons… If you are feeling really vicious, you might feel the urge to use pictures of the new Speaker as a paper target - but don’t let Homeland Security find out about it…

The second thing I’d like to know is why you want to be in politics… It would be such a disappointment to see another good man turn to the dark side…

Since Clinton smoked but didnt inhale, and had sexual relatoins but didnt have sex, the whole notion of moral qualifications has taken a beating, unless you are conservative, in which case the slightest percieved charactor flaw brands you an unqualified hypocrite.
