Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, right, makes a joke about a rumor that Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry had a plastic surgery, holding photos of Kerry, left, and pop star Michael Jackson during the annual St. Patrick’s Day breakfast in Boston, Sunday, March 21, 2004. The breakfast, which gave President Bush and Kerry the opportunity to engage in some lighthearted, long-distance one-upmanship, has been a tradition for more than 50 years, and is a prelude to the annual South Boston St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino is seen laughing in the foreground.

Does anything funny ever happen at this breakfast? In any case, Menino got his with jokes about his mastery of the English language.
my bridge partners tonight were from India, Great Britain and Taiwan. To a person, they hope John Kerry will win the election in the US, and also to a person pessimistic about the current world order. One said he has heard WW3 IS going to begin with a little viral war between the Israelies and the Palestineans. My feeling is that if a shot or two of Bo-tox will relax Kerry and get him to working on repairing our relationships with the rest of the world, get out the syringe. love, Mom P.S. Did your son ever come home?
