My wife and I were at a local supermarket for the weekly grocery shopping. While she was choosing a loaf of bread, I was looking at the cheeses. I picked up a few wedges of brie and checked them to see how soft (and thus how fresh) they were. I decided against buying any of them.

When I rejoined my wife, she asked me where I had been. I told her I had been fondling the cheese.

Wife: "You were doing what???"

Me: "I was fondling the cheese. You're supposed to fondle it before making fondue."

Wife: "I think you should make fondon't!"

What was the most significant, positive accomplishment of President George W. Bush (Bush II)?

He didn't die in office and foist Dick Cheney on us as the next President.

Anyone who thinks government owns a monopoly on inefficient, obstructive bureaucracy has obviously never worked for a large corporation.

When I turn on the faucet, water comes out. At night, the street lights come on. Our streets are swept, and our joint school and public library continues to operate. Both children and adults enjoy themselves in our community's parks. Our public schools are as good as any other schools — public or private — in California. Deputy Sheriffs patrolling our streets and judges in our courtrooms keep our community's crime rate very low in a county with one of the lowest crime rates in the nation. Mail is delivered six days each week. In Oak Park, government is working; it is not our enemy.
