new policy

Someone passed on this follow-up article regarding the John Edwards affair. I’m a little beyond caring about discerning the exact dates of this relationship, but I had to chuckle at the involvement of a lawyer by the name of Ms. Marple. I do hope she’s in the library with the paternity test. Or in the kitchen with FEC reports.

In other news, the German saw me watching some DNCC coverage today and said, “that thing is today? I thought it was Monday?” He was completely flabbergasted to learn that it takes our people four whole days to nominate a presidential candidate. He was on a roll blasting the drawn-out primary (or what we like to call, democracy) and talking about what a good president he would make. Until a map of Illinois came on the screen and he said “Chicago is in Illinois?” Oh well, at least he’s no worse off than the current leader of the free world. He tried to rally by proposing Arnie as president. Because putting Austrians in positions of power has worked out so well in the past.
