DEAR "NANCY FRENCH"
Who are you and what have you done with my mother-in-law?
Just kidding. I have the best mother-in-law in the world and she is quite enthusiastic about having "grandbabies," as she calls them.
No news on that front, though. I simply think one should call a spade a spade. And what Congress and the President are doing right now is, quite simply, spending my (unborn) kids' money -- and Austin and Camille's, Nancy. That, I find, sticks in one's mind a lot better than the vague concept of "running up a trillion-dollar deficit." A trillion is hard to wrap your mind around. But your kids getting stuck with a tab they didn't run up? A bit easier.
