As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to “make a difference” in the world.
It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other “seniors” who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.
Ted is such a person.
How does Ted make a difference, and make his world a better place?
“I’ve often been asked, ‘What do you old folks do now that you’re retired?Ted is an inspiration to us all.
Well, I’m fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and Jack Daniel’s into urine.
Then I piss on a photo of Obama; I do it every day and I really enjoy it.”

Q: How do you tell a Romney supporter from an obama voter?
A. Romney supporters sign their checks on the front.
obama supporters sign them on the back.

On a more serious note (and also from BMEWS):
Simon Heffer is a columnist for the British online newspaper The Mail. Here's a snippet he had to say about the U.S. presidential race.
The U.S. Presidential election is heating up again, as the conventions near and the final push for votes begins. The American Press, which is almost uniformly Democrat, is muck-raking frantically about Republican Mitt Romney — their ‘muck’ consisting mainly of Mr Romney being rich, successful and understanding how business works.I certainly hope so...
Given the mess America’s economy is in under a President who knows less about economics than I do about brain surgery, it is lucky to have Mr Romney in the wings. And I suspect that the American public has a rather different view of these matters from the American media.
