I wasn't really aware of things during the Watergate scandal. I really don't know how anyone stood for listening to that news coverage go on and on and on. I'm already tired of this thing with Bill Clinton. Leave the man alone. Everyone's making a big deal about comparing this to Watergate, but from what I read on the internet tonight about Watergate, Nixon deliberately set out to circumvent the Congress, the Constitution and basically everything else that stood in his way. Clinton was merely trying to avoid a pretty embarrassing question, and now, because he was evasive and didn't "tell the whole truth" about something that is, really, no one's business but his, Hillary's and Monica Lewinski's, everyone wants to hang him.

I've turned all news sources off. I have been much happier.

Really, suppose some hotshot reporter stood up at a news conference on, say, Iraq. He asks, "Mr. President, I heard that you have a mole on your ass that looks like the racecar token in Monopoly." He denies it, and later someone finds out that indeed, he does have a mole like that on his ass. OK, he lied. Why was the question asked in the first place? Are these people allowed no privacy at all?

Politics may be the reserve and domain of people who are too boring to do anything else. Because he's not boring, I pretty much like Clinton. Do anything, but don't be boring.

That's all I have to say on that topic, and it's all I want to hear. If you want to comment, don't send your comments here. I don't want them. Sorry.

I may or may not write anything tomorrow. I've been tired lately and rehearsal will use up the last of my energy I'm sure. Be patient, bear with me.
