    An excellent tie to Egan and Rafferty's lyrics. For many of us 1972 was a good year.

    I should have updated this last week, oz won the rino primary. It didn't matter much, his opponent claimed to be politically the same as oz claims. The Democratic candidate, John Fetterman, was unopposed. He is too far to the left for me so I guess I will be voting for Paul Ryan again in the fall!

    I think I shall get a rubber stamp with Paul Ryan's name---it could save me a lot of time

    Looks to me like Fetterman and Oz are fairly even in current polls - which means this race is one to watch.
