Saturday, March 23rd. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

"How green you are and fresh in this old world!"

King John, Act III, Scene 3, Line 145.

Senator Portman showed up late for the party, but maybe we should give him props for showing up at all...

Suddenly, I realized that I had missed your Saturday thread! I was busy yesterday morning.

So........thanks to Advanced Search, here I am.

And of course, it's wonderful, and so very appropriate.

Maybe there's hope yet, for some Republicans.

Well done!

My Saturdays are normally much less busy than yesterday's was...
