I know what Bette means, though.

May 21, 1992 — approaching 26 years ago.
Milder closed that show with “One for My Baby (and One More for the Road).”

It’s no revelation, but as one ages, the passage of time does seem to accelerate. Whew.

I would say that taking a side in that fight is like sticking a bare leg between a cobra fighting a rattlesnake to stop them from fighting.

I'd say Trump, because Ebola moves faster than Cancer, and I wouldn't put it past Bannon to shiv someone in the back if it were convenient and he knew he could get away with it.

Though Cancer is adaptable and ingratiates itself in a corner of the body and slowly take over without anyone noticing...

It's so hard to decide!

But just because two knuckleheads are having a slap fight, it doesn't mean you have to take sides.
