Whew.
I'm exhausted. Reading the previous posts leaves me feeling, well, uneducated. Even though I have a BS in Geology, and two years of grad work, history and English were not my forte. ERGO, I hesitantly type (not really), wondering with each stroke whether or not my diction (har har), spelling, grammar, and whatever else I do wrong will tweak a reader into taking my post apart, piece by piece. Mea culpa.
Changing gears here, I humbly ask this: Why, oh why, didn't John Edwards ever get his due? The man amazed me, with his passion, his intellect, his heart, his candor, his amazing wife, and his sensibility on so many issues. Was he politically sexy like Obama? No, but he had something that just grabbed me and made me sit up and listen. It was a sad day for me, when it came time for the Texas primaries, to decide between Hillary and Obama, when Edwards' name was still on the ballot.
Oh, well, make fun of Edward's (apostrophe before or after the s??) haircut fiasco, but I will always think of him as the greateast president we could have had, but chose the rock star instead.
Too bad.
