Anyway I said I had just read book on Kissinger and was about to launch into a tirade against him when his wife piped up with "Oh I think Kissinger is great.." Well at least I was warned before I put my foot in it and wisely kept quiet.

Good save ... I wish I had that kind of save when I launched into an angry view of what I thought about Jimmy Carter and his aborted attempt to rescue the hostages in Iran.
Oh well, at least I got my foot back, but I had to learn how to shut my mouth since that day.
This was 24 years ago when I was only forty ... Now I'm more mature and realize you don't talk to the NSA people like that.
