Happy Turkey Day!
The turkey did not turn out fine.
So I thought I would break out the wine.
By dessert they were wasted
From the wine that they tasted
And they all thought the dinner divine.

Senator Robert Byrd
West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd became the longest-serving lawmaker in congressional history today. The Senate paid tribute, and there was some sort of special resolution, but we thought we'd honor the 91-year-old public servant ourselves by pointing out just how old he is:
>Older than sliced bread - 1928
>The 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote - 1920
>The chocolate chip cookie developed by Ruth Wakefield--the owner of the Toll House Inn - 1934
>Commercial air travel - 1920s
>The Band-Aid - 1920
>4 major stars of the movie "Twilight" - 81 years combined
>Penicillin - 1928
>Velcro - 1941
>The CIA - 1947
>"White Out" correction fluid created by Bette Nesmith Graham (mother of Mike Nesmith of the Monkees) - 1951
>Television - 1930s
>AARP - 1958
>Dirt - Kidding!
