After numerous years in the senate, our good friend Mr Strom Thurmond, Republican from South Carolina, is finally hitting the century mark! Happy Birthday!
Also, he’s retiring from his senate seat when this term ends! Yipee! No more Strom! Good news all around!
Wouldn’t you love to be able to sit down with someone that age and just…talk about everything that he’s seen in the 20th century? He was nine years old when Titanic went down, fer crine out loud.
What spooks me about Thurmond is that I’m afraid he’d start gaily recounting “Great Lynchings of My Boyhood,” or some such… :eek:
Actually Eve, IIRC, I swear to God itself, on Strom’s 96th birthday, I watched a news article in which he stated “I may be ninety-six years old, but I still like the young women!” I think he was with a couple of Playboy Bunnies.
Heh, lucky for me, too, as I had to write a report about Thurmond for Government class during my senior year in high school. I needed to include a quote, and I just so happened to be watching the news that day…
