I Don't Like Ike

Even though I was born in the Truman administration the first president I remember was Dwight Eisenhower. I remember the campaign slogan “I Like Ike”. There was a lot to like about Texas born Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the European Theater Allied forces in WW II, humble, friend of the solder and American hero. He was a such a typical American apolitical career solder that when he was first encouraged to run for president he had to decide with which political party he would run. A great solder even though some consider him a mediocre President.

So why did they have to defame such a great man by naming a hurricane after him! I have just spent all morning boarding up my windows. And here I sit waiting for “IKE” to lay vengeance on me and my “Stuff”. I liked it better when they named hurricanes after women, there not Hissicanes ya, know.

Pray for all of us on the Texas Gulf Coast.
