JOHN EDWARDS-PALOOZA: Since one of the guys I'd vote for over Bush won't be winning the nom, let us all take a moment to bask in how he sounds and acts like a fully formed human being:
"In the book's afterword, Edwards semi-apologizes for writing about Wade: "When I began to think about this book, I did not know how much I would say about Wade, or particularly about his death, and I thought it would be best not to say that much about it. But as I attempted to explain my life as an advocate and as a man, I found it impossible not to speak of him. As much as anyone is—as much as my other children, Cate, Emma Claire, and Jack, as much as my parents, my grandmother, and my wife—Wade is who I am." He concludes the book, "I have learned two great lessons—that there will always be heartache and struggle, and that people of strong will can make a difference. One is a sad lesson; the other is inspiring. I choose to be inspired." "
and, for some levity, a joke (I think this came from Ted Barlow's lightbulb joke contest a few months back):
Q. How many John Edwardses does it take to change a light bulb?
A. One, just like regular people.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
