I'm really not sure what to think of this

For the past few days, Éiden has been walking around the house saying, "I'm John McCain, and I approve this message."

Does he precede it with a fart or something otherwise suitable for McC's message? :)

Too funny!

Dude, when Nixon won re-election in '72, I thought George Washington had been re-elected, and I was elated about it, all day.

I was horrified and thought the Devil Himself was going to take over my house and neighborhood.

I really thought maybe he was spying on me.

Oh yeah, we moved to Santa Cruz like a year or so later, and I ended up getting an ear and eyeful of Watergate, after that. That's the first time I remember wondering what the hell was wrong with my parents, in second grade.

I was 2 in 1972. But my family had ties to Nixon (my great-aunt is/was Rosemary Woods), and my dad liked to use him as a bogeyman.

Yeah, I remember the Rosemary Woods thing about you, which is always awesome.

I was five in 1972. I still feel like I should have known better.

I was 6 when Eisenhower was running for President for the first time - and I kept telling everyone "I Like Ike"

That would be pretty appropriate, but he doesn't. He does say it in one of his goofy voices, though.

I don't think he necessarily likes McCain (though his brother yells at him for it because he doesn't like McCain), I just think he finds it funny.

I, like Haddayr, was only two when Nixon won and can't remember a thing about him or politics at the time. I was sad in 76, though, when Ford lost to Carter because I thought Ford was funny whenever he fell down or stumbled and I wanted a funny president.

Arie pays attention to what's going on with the election and asks lots of questions but I really have no idea what Éiden thinks of it. I think he just finds it kind of funny.

I remember you asking me about what was happening when you saw Nixon getting on the helicopter when he had resigned from office and was leaving for California.

Kind of like when he was stomping around last year chanting "Mat soo za Kah" "Oh Ka Jeee Ma" ?

[janradder.livejournal.com]

Wow -- I don't remember that at all.

A little bit.
