Bill Clinton goes shopping at Whole Foods.; १४/५/१०, ९:३१ PM
Jeff with one 'f' म्हणाले...: On a Toyota.; १४/५/१०, ९:४३ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Just the sticker alone would be pretty amusing. But combined with the license plate, it is very creepy.; १४/५/१०, १०:०५ PM
David म्हणाले...: Hey, we all have our high points in life.

I met Ike.

And George C. Marshall.

Never thought of putting those facts on my car.; १४/५/१०, १०:०९ PM

No fan of Ike, but a great admirer of Marshall. You must have been a widdle kid.

I remember the announcement of his death on the radio as my dad and I were driving up to see my Aunt Claribel. We were at a toll booth on the Jersey turnpike. I had no idea who he was, but I remember it took a minute for my dad to take it in.; १४/५/१०, ११:१० PM
NoName म्हणाले...: "I shook hands with Pres Ford, as he walked off Air Force 1, (and did not fall down)"

but, it will not fit on my licence plate.; १४/५/१०, ११:१२ PM
Kev म्हणाले...: Hey, we all have our high points in life.

And George C. Marshall.

I met Dubya when he was the Texas Rangers' owner and I was a college radio reporter. (That won't fit on a license plate either--even the new Texas ones with a seventh digit.); १४/५/१०, ११:४७ PM
Michael Haz म्हणाले...: I met Hubert Humphrey. Try putting that on a license plate.

IMET HH Nope. The dang relatives would think I met Howard Hughes.; १४/५/१०, ११:५० PM

Its not like you guys haven't been to NYC... (I understand the weather was bad and such) but.. if I show up over there in Madison it would be kind of creepy.. although I could.. if invited.. if

So.. next time you guys are in NYC make time for us.. at least try.; १५/५/१०, १२:३५ AM
Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...: btw Meade thats a nice thing to say dude.; १५/५/१०, १२:३८ AM
bagoh20 म्हणाले...: I never met and talked to anyone famous, although last night I literally bumped into Eddie Griffin and his baby in the supermarket. Eddie if you read this, sorry dude. I was thinking about Althouse and double vanilla ice cream and not watching where I was going. BTW, no using n-word here, even if you're famous.; १५/५/१०, १:४१ AM
Clyde म्हणाले...: I spray-painted graffiti on the Berlin Wall and pissed on it as a poltical statement, back in early 1989. Ten months later, the Wall came down. I like to think that I helped in my small way.

But I don't have a license plate that says P ON WALL.; १५/५/१०, ३:१० AM
Value Added म्हणाले...: I agree with Seven Machos. It's creepy. And sad.; १५/५/१०, ६:०४ AM
GMay म्हणाले...: The most recent famous person I saw was Ben Stein at a little mall in Palm Desert a couple of years ago.

He really does dress like that.; १५/५/१०, ८:२४ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Louisiana to Madison, quite a long haul.

Mark O म्हणाले...: In today's world, JFK would be a right wing crazy. "Ask not what your country can do for you . . .?" Come on.

Freedom? Allies? The moon?

Obama would denounce him as a hater.; १५/५/१०, ८:४२ AM
Phil 314 म्हणाले...: I can recall many years ago (?25) my mother had taken one of her rare plane trips and happened to meet Bary Goldwater. She was giddy like a school girl (according to my brother who was with her).

I was still in my teens but that was my first inkling that there was something to Barry Goldwater besides being a crazy rightwing Senator from far away Arizona who was appropriately humiliated in a past presidential election. My understanding of Republicans came from my long time governor, Nelson Rockfellar.

It wasn't till many years later and after moving to AZ that I got a fuller picture of who Goldwater was. It was also when I fully realized how "East" and "West" have VERY different outlooks.

(And now connecting the dots) From what I now know of JFK, he was the last member of that family to have some political common ground with the likes of Goldwater.; १५/५/१०, ९:०४ AM

It's amazing how far the Democrats have fallen. From calling on people to excel to telling them to settle for a teat of those who do.; १५/५/१०, ९:०५ AM
