A real alternative..


I have to admit, I like John Edwards for president. I was at the Volunteer Lawyers Program luncheon and he showed up, sua sponte to speak to us. He praised volunteerism as a virtue in lawyers and said a few things about the state of the world.

The point is, there were no tv cameras. No journalists at all. Just about a hundred lawyers eating lunch. And a mariachi band. Several local pols, notably local harpie Gabbie Giffords, tried to appear with him. And asked to bring the press. He flatly refused.

He came because those of us there cared about poor people. Like he does.

We could do worse. Hell, we already have.
