Quoted:
I have no 'problems' at all with President Reagan, but I did whizz on Grant's Tomb, once.
I would have done it a second time, but the line was just too long!

Actually, this is not true, at all.
I only mentioned my whizzing on Grant's Tomb to excite the Yankees among you.
I have nothing but the greatest respect for U. S. Grant, as soldier, as President (can you imagine?), and as a private man, who, struggling with painful cancer in his last years, hurriedly wrote his memoirs in order to provide for his destitute family following his death.
He finished what Mark Twain called "the most remarkable work of its kind since the Commentaries of Julius Caesar," and which is widely regarded as among the finest memoirs ever written.
And his family collected $450,000.00 for his dying and valiant effort!
That would be $9,500,000.00 in 2005 Dollars!Eat your heart out Hillary!
