I didn't know that Elizabeth was still with us! So glad to see that she's still among the living, I surely am.

I don't think Jack Kemp was ever a senator:

There's actually more than just these two, Ryan. I don't have them in front of me right now, but I've been looking at three different PACs that are in Dole's name, and this one (Leadership Circle) is not one of those. Thanks for the info. :)

Rep. Sue Myrick, in the view of some Charlotte-area Democrats, does a great imitation of the "Peanuts" cartoon character Lucy, especially the way Lucy would pull the football back at the last minute when Charlie Brown would go running up to kick it.

So former quarterback Jack Kemp, who played for Tim Russert's Buffalo Bills and knows a thing or two about place-kicking, should be prepared to call some audibles at the political scrimmage line if it should become necessary at the Republican luncheon event in Charlotte April 28.
