Winston Churchill had the most tempestuous relationship with a female “friend,” Lady Astor, that could be had without being officially married. She called him a “drunk” one night at a dinner party. He replied, ‘”Lady Astor, I may be drunk now but in the morning, I will be sober. You, on the other hand, will still […]
This is the last straw! I can handle it when the AARP, the American Association of Retired Persons, say they are not competing with for-profit insurance companies when, in fact, the AARP is one of the world’s largest retailers of health care insurance, travel insurance and life insurance in the history of man.
