1. Is she being investigated by the Secret Service?

You know, threats on the life of a former president have to be investigated seriously, even if they were in jest.

2. Maybe the Secret Service is paying her ....

to buy him a chute for his birthday/wedding anniversary

3. If he really wants to recreate his youthful adventure.....

The pilot of the plane needs to bail out before he has a chance to get into the 'chute.

Are the ghosts of his crew haunting him?

4. Poppy's first example of his leadership style.

Cowardly self interest.

6. A few years ago they made a big huge deal aut of this ass making a par-

achute jump.I think it was supposed to be his first jump since WWII:you know,when he ditched his plane,killing his crew.Anyway,they showed video of it taken on the plane and it's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.There were like 4 guys(Secret Service,I think) holding on to him really tight with their hands while they all jumped!Because he was terrified of doing it.And when he jumped he hit his helmeted head REALLY hard on the top of the plane opening.It was so goddamned silly!I forget what show I saw it on but everyone should see it.

7. Death on the brain

It seems to me that every time Babs opens her piehole, she always has some crack about death or "killing" someone... Freud would have a field day with her.
