I THINK MY PASTOR READ IT CLEARLY AND WITH GREAT DICTION.

4. CAN YOU SHARE WHO YOU VOTED FOR IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN YOUR LIFE?

SURE. I BEGAN TO VOTE IN 1972, THE FALL. I’VE VOTED FOR REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS FOR PRESIDENT. IN NINE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, I ONLY VOTED FOR ONE WINNER, REAGAN IN 1980 AND THAT WAS BECAUSE I WAS IN A GAS LINE BEFORE I WENT TO THE POLLS. SO I HAVE A 1-8 RECORD.

5. IF YOU CAN HAVE ONE JOB IN THE WHITE HOUSE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

PASTRY TESTER.

6. WHY NO CANCER BLOG?

I HAVE ENOUGH BLOGS TO KEEP ME BUSY. BUT MY ILLNESS IS SOMETHING I DON’T WANT TO INFLICT ON PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW ME. I NEVER THOUGHT THE USE OF A BLOG SHOULD BE, “I’M COOKING DINNER NOW, THE DOG TICKED ME OFF, HO HUM, ANOTHER DAY”. I FEEL THE INTERNET IS A GIFT TO INFORM AND ENTERTAIN. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN MY CORNER DURING THIS ILLNESS THAT I JUST DIDN’T NEED ANY MORE DISCUSSION PUBLICLY ABOUT IT. AND WHILE MY READERS ARE CONCERNED, WHICH I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH, THEY DON’T GO TO THE SITE TO SEE HOW MY WHITE COUNT IS DOING. CANCER AND PATIENT BLOGS ARE OUT THERE TO INFORM AND COMFORT. AND GOD SPEED TO THOSE THAT WRITE THEM. BUT I FIGURED THAT THIS DISEASE DIDN’T MAKE ME SPECIAL, MILLIONS GET IT, SOME DIE, SOME SURVIVE. I FELT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO STICK TO WHAT WE DO BEST.

7. TURKEY OR DUCK?

TURKEY WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS. LOVE THE DRUMSTICKS.

8. DAN QUAYLE ON HIS ATTEMPT TO DANCE WITH THE STARS? THOUGHTS?

I MAKE NO JUDGEMENTS, WISH I COULD DANCE LIKE I USED TO BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. GOOD LUCK TO HIM.

9. YOU WERE REALLY TOUGH ON EXETER BOROUGH FOR NAMING A 21 YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER AS MAYOR. CHANGE YOUR MIND?

NOPE. IT’S A JOKE. AND THE WAY COUNCIL CAVED WAS EVEN FUNNIER. ONLY IN LUZERNE COUNTY CAN SOMEONE NAME THEIR SUCCESSOR, A RELATIVE NO LESS TO A POLITICAL JOB. WE’LL SEE WHAT SHE DOES WITH THE DEBT MESS THERE.

10. HOW WILL THE OBAMA AND McCAIN CAMPAIGNS BE REMEMBERED?

LIKE POLAR OPPOSITES. OBAMA, FOCUSED AND PURPOSEFUL. McCAIN, THROUGH NO FAULT OF HIS OWN, ERRATIC, REACTIVE AND MORE OFF MESSAGE THAN ON.

11. ROW OFFICES IN PENNSYLVANIA? YOUR PICKS?

TOM CORBETT, ATTORNEY GENERAL, JACK WAGNER AUDITOR GENERAL, McCORD TREASUER.

12.IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SAY ANYTHING TO SARAH PALIN, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

BESIDES SHUT THE **** UP? I’D TAKE HER TO TASK FOR SAYING THAT IT IS UNPATRIOTIC TO VOTE FOR AND PAY FOR HIGHER TAXES. I’D SAY THE TAXES WE DEMOCRATS UNPATRIOTICALLY ADVOCATE AND PAY, BUY THE BODY ARMOUR TO PROTECT HER SON IN THE MIDEAST, AND PAY FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS THAT HAS KEPT ALASKA CLEAN AND PRISTINE.

13. IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE, HOW YOU WOULD YOU TRACK DOWN AND SMOKE OUT BIN LADEN?

I’D GET TWO DEEJAYS I KNOW, YOU KNOW GUYS THAT DO PARTIES AND WEDDINGS. JOE THOMAS AND GENE WERELY. I’D HAVE SHADOE STEELE, AN ENGINEEERING GENUIS RIG LOUD SPEAKERS ALL THROUGH THE BIN LADEN TARGETED AREA AND 24/7 BLARE THIS SONG.
