Nixon & GR

[Bled Welder]

omfg.  Who uses "ordinarily"?  What weirdo talks like that?  Because,
obviously, he means, *intends*, ordnance.

Such a genius.  When is the guy born of late 30s going to give a public
statement deifying the *time* that we mortals experienced, well not me
personally, but which was, that time called "the 60s"?  When will he walk
down the stairs, or up, to the balcony, or roof, like any good beatle, and
bow, and name, and honor eternal, the god of the 1960s, from who, from
who-em, nothing else is, or was, possible, beyond itself, *that* time, and
indefatigable, forever?
