My longtime friend and neighbor Fred e-mails:
I’ve been a sailor. I have been drunk. I have spent money as a sailor, while being drunk. I have extensive experience spending like a drunken sailor. I could qualify as an expert court witness in “spending like a drunken sailor.”
As an expert in this field (O.K., I qualified myself, but I feel it is justified), I am offended by those that say Bernanke, Obama, and Pelosi are spending like drunken sailors.
Drunken sailors STOP SPENDING WHEN THEY RUN OUT OF MONEY.
This conservative attack must END!
I blame George W. Bush and global warming for the spending.

Circa 1954. Seems like it was yesterday. Well feels like many moons ago. I am the good looking one.
