Mr. Boner

Can we talk?

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." - Democrats referring to me, the Real King of France, in November, 1992.

My shrink and curling partner put it another way.  "You have a classic all-or-nothing personality."   Barry Goldwater, another old friend, until he became mealy-mouthed in his dotage, defended me once to a critic, "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."     I'm only telling you this because my grandson called last night and asked, "Grampy, why do you hate John Boner and want him thrown into a volcano?"  Sigh. Telling him that it's "because Speaker Boner is just another status-quo bullshit artist Republican candyass who needs throwing headfirst down an abandoned outhouse hole (not a volcano)" wouldn't make sense to him, so I lied. "It's because he want s to kill your mommy."  Same thing, so not really a lie.
