If You Are Over 50 Yrs. Old, 2 Things You Will Never See Again........

If you were born before 1963, you will never see another New York Yankees' Championship or another Republican President in your life time.


BOSTON: The only thing better than our politics is our baseball team. Our state is deep blue and our Sox are vivid red.


See you at the parade.

The last one nearly destroyed the United States, (Verdict still out on that one). Another would surely finish the job.

4. Mass. 2 Dem Sen.

All 9 Congress people are Dem. Gov., AG, Sec. of State, Auditor. State Senate 36 Dems 4 Rep. House 125 Dems to 35 .

Elizabeth Warren is one of our Senators. Probably the best in the business. Brown only lasted 18 months, and he was a nice guy (but bad politics). I dare say that no other state in the union would have thrown him out.

Dems raise and spend money too, but we are successful. Not sometimes, but nearly all the time.

If this forum is Democratic Underground, Massachusetts is Democratic in Full View.

And the Red Sox are our team.

I hope the next President is a New Yorker, though. Hillary would be great.

Although your first prediction is less likely than your second. The evil empire never gives up.

Because I expect there will be a LOT of animals, bugs and that will go extinct and wildlands destroyed.

Correction: a lot MORE that will disappear. There already are thousands of species and habitats on the gone forever list.

...and I intended to see at least two more.

I only have to make it to 99 years old to see Halley's Comet again.
