Stamps they can't get rid of

Went to the post office today. Asked for some 1st class stamps. Person behind the counter gives me some. Put on my glasses - it's Gerald Ford. I say, no not these thanks. Person behind the desk says he can't get rid of them. Good that there is still some memory of the past.

Which reminds me of another conversation I had today. My colleague made the point that bush the lesser is the first president of the US to not renounce first use of "nukular" arms. On some prodding he remembered the "madman theory" of Nixon's - where that ex-president threatened to drop nuclear bombs on N. Vietnam.

Memory is a fine thing to preserve. Can anyone remember why bush the lesser invaded Iraq?
