I am indebted to a comment made by a member of the far right, on a blog I saw somewhere in my travels in cyberspace, for triggering something in my mind. He made the suggestion that John Edwards and Jimmy Carter were related. He meant it to be an insult of course, but that’s not important. He is a southerner himself by the way. Always blows me away to hear a southerner vilify Jimmy Carter. It would be one thing if he deserved it – he deserves the opposite.

It occurred to me that we have now in the White House, a man the so-called "Christian" right adores – or once adored anyway. It’s safe to say he’s not quite as adored as he once was, but the extent to which that’s true we may never know, since they aren’t exactly famous for admitting they could have possibly been wrong about anything. They’re probably silently muttering to themselves that the only reason George Bush is a roaring disappointment has got to have something with Bill Clinton and/or the Democrats/liberals, but that’s only so they don’t burst into tears over it. Some of them even still cling to the illusion he’s somehow a southerner. But I digress.
