Here’s what was projected before the ‘compromise.’

And here are the projected savings after the ‘compromise.’  The black shows how much is going to be cut.

Presidential Aging

CNN had an article on how much presidents age while in office.  Well, of course everyone ages at the same rate, but their point is how much they show the effects of aging while in office.

Of all the pictures, this one of Jimmy Carter stood out.  Not so much because of how much he appeared to age, but because his hair is parted in the opposite direction.  I don’t know of any men who decides to change their part.

That article also made me look up the meaning of the word pompadour.  I’m determined to use this word in conversation this week.  I challenge you to do the same.
