28. Great story, we're right about the same age

Thu May 21, 2026, 06:50 PM

Thursday

I voted for the first time in 1972, but I was already 21 by then. Nixon dropped the voting age to 18 but it didn't affect me. And I agree with you about Mayor Rizzo, I wouldn't have voted for him either.

I love Al Franken, and I wish he'd come back politics. But I guess he's done with it now.
