LOL. Yeah, the guy talks fast, uses common names, colors, et cetera. The episodes of his show are allegedly heavily edited as well, and he's been caught more than once doing a "hot" reading ( (e.g., chatting casually with the audience beforehand and using statements made their to get specific hits). The whole thing about palm reading and the like is that the client will ignore all the misses as long as the reader makes a few good hits. The people in the audience are just such a group, self-selected for, well, gullible desperation.

I do believe there's more to life than what we perceive with our eyes and ears, but John Edwards is nowhere near the edge of the veil.
