Today is Ben Franklin's Birthday; Bush debates 300-year-old man.

[spqrblues]

Nice little juxtaposition of quotes in Cheers & Jeers on DailyKos.com for Franklin's 300th birthday today. No doubt many other interesting Franklin-related events going on around the web. But not here. I am not going to be particularly interesting today.

Franklin?

[(Anonymous)]

To Heck with his philosophy... I want to get down to the real nitty-gritty. Did he or did he not invent swim-fins? Not nordic girls in bikinis, as sweet as they may be... I mean the flippers one wears on the feet. C'mon, Ben, get your wet fingers off those wine-cups and tell the truth. DRW.

Apparently I missed the wet-wine-cup concert!

Maybe I can hold my own personal concert today. I'll have to go out and buy some wine.
