I'd skipped eighth grade, extra honors student.
So I was in the last draft lottery of the Vietnam War, which I was opposed, but I got a good number, fortunately.
I hated Nixon.
I was in the last draft lottery, meaning they were picking numbers of your birthday to decide who was going to fight in Vietnam.
Damn, I didn't know it was like that.
I'm aging myself, yes.
Oh, wow.
So if you got 60 or less, you were going to Vietnam.
I got like 300 out of 365.
But I hated Nixon.
And then I get in the Moonies a few months later, fasting for Nixon to be president despite Watergate.
And I think my dad's going to appreciate me.
And I'm like, Dad, God wants Nixon to be president.
I'm fasting for him.

He's a crook.
I'm like, dad, you don't understand.
God wants him to be present.
