It's funny. all of the folks in politics I admire most have political conviction, too. very strong political convictions. and intelligence. vision. oh, here's a good one, accomplishments. yet none of them exhibit it in a way that is popularly described as refreshing...like, like, like a cold, refreshing Mountain Dew after an afternoon in the Alaskan frontier shootin' grizzlies.
ack. we are doomed.
