If memory serves, a trip to Cuba was on cigarlaw's bucket list. Probably didn't have bucket lists then.
But, being a lawyer and all, he managed the trip, had some cigars, and IIRC, got laid too. Great!
Was it ALS that did him in?

45876. arkymalarky - 1/10/2015 5:04:55 PM Huckabee is the one who makes me dread the GOP primary 45877. robertjayb - 1/10/2015 7:16:56 PM Chill and enjoy. With the Huck, Rick (00Ps) Perry, Cruz, Walker, Ryan, Paul, Jindal, Kasich, Christie, Rubio, Sarah, Carson?, and Jeb contending it should be a hoot. Maybe the bombastic pizza guy will come back. 45878. robertjayb - 1/10/2015 8:37:46 PM Herman Cain. And Mitt, of course. 45879. wabbit - 1/21/2015 2:42:18 AM Francis Fukuyama argues that the US gov't has grown too weak

...a twofer?
Be still my heart.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Leading potential Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, who are engaged in a behind-the-scenes competition for dollars and support among party loyalists, are to meet in Utah on Thursday.
Could be a clue to whether Jeb really is the smart Bush. 45883. judithathome - 1/22/2015 10:56:46 PM Like there IS one of those.... 45884. robertjayb - 1/23/2015 7:19:27 PM My cup runneth over...
Sen. Marco Rubio takes steps toward 2016 presidential bid
As his field of potential competitors takes shape, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, is taking concrete steps to run for president in 2016, an aide to the senator confirms to CBS News.
Methinks Rubio is apt to get stuck in those concrete steps. More fun. It's shaping up to be a good year for GOP watching. 45885. robertjayb - 1/23/2015 11:07:37 PM Here they go again
(Wisconsin State Journal)
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s calendar is filling up with more events hinting at a 2016 presidential run.
Walker plans to attend an event this weekend in Palm Springs, California, at a private gathering sponsored by a Koch brothers affiliated group, campaign spokesman Tom Evenson confirmed Tuesday.
Politico first reported Tuesday that Walker will join three other presidential hopefuls at the event: Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida. The event is sponsored by Freedom Partners, which the online political publication describes as "the nonprofit group that oversees the network of fiscally conservative groups formed with help from (billionaires Charles and David Koch) and their operatives."
45886. judithathome - 1/24/2015 8:14:44 PM Well, at least the Kochs are unbending enough to let some of the goings-on reach the press this year...instead of acting as though this meet-up is some sort of Bohemian Grove hush-hush type of get-together.
(Jeez, that sentence may take the prize for "most hyphenated references" in one sentence!) 45887. judithathome - 1/25/2015 8:52:43 PM Why Carly Fiorina Thinks She Can Beat Hillary Clinton
Get THIS remark at the end of the article; maybe you can BE more sexist but I don't see how:
A Republican strategist told TIME last year that Fiorina could be a potent weapon for the GOP in the coming cycle. “The most effective way to criticize a woman is to have another woman do it.”
After seeing her on Bill Maher a few weeks ago, I don't think she's going to get enough votes to make it out of Iowa...but...it's her money she's gonna waste!
