If we're doomed to a Senate filled with senior citizens, let's at least get some new old folks in there, like Willie Brown from my new home of St. Louis?
Willie Brown said he thought he was back in a foxhole in Korea on Thursday morning when a burglar stood at the door to Brown's bedroom."He said, 'I got a knife, don't move,'" Brown recalled.
"I reached behind my back and whipped my gun from under my pillow and said, 'Take this .38,' and I blasted him."
The man, wounded, uttered "Whoops," Brown said, and fled down the stairs. Brown pursued, and fired a second shot, striking the intruder as he jumped through a broken window.
That's the kind of old guy we need in the Senate.
Update:
(HT: My wife, DeoDuce, told me about the old guy in St. Louis! I didn't mention it before because I feel that we're so at one with each other that it wasn't necessary.)
What neighborhood of St. Louis are you moving to? If you're in the county (i.e., Chesterfield, Fenton, etc.) instead of the city, you hopefully won't have to do anything similar.
I just read the article... looks like he was in East St. Louis (across the river in Illinois). That seems a lot more likely now that I know that!
Caution your readers. The first shot was righteous and legal. The shot as he left the house could have gotten the homeowner life in prison.
John S: We'll be in St. Charles most likely.
Randy: The later shots would only get a prison sentence because Willie Brown hasn't been in the Senate yet!
