Great Entertainment

While the writers strike was in full force, many Americans were searching for top notch entertainment. In watching the Democratic debates, I found a a tremendous outlet for such entertainment.

Of particular note is John Edwards. This cat is as phony as they come. A trial lawyer who made gazillions defending "common folk" who were supposedly wronged by corporate America, Edwards claimed his support of the less fortunate was a lifelong fight.

He often spoke of "two Americas", where in his mind, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. In a recent story in The Wall Street Journal, complete with the chart supplied by the US Treasury Department, we see that Edwards is fraudulently incorrect.


I recognize newspapers are not often credible, or in some cases, such as The New York Times, unable to spot the truth at the front door. The Wall Street Journal, however, is highly reputable.


The fact is the lowest income citizens are doing better than ever. Opportunties exist for these folks that most thought not possible decades ago. Homeownership, even with the subprime crisis, is near record levels. Most low income folks have automobiles, cell phones and cable television.

Edwards, soundly defeated in the campaign, should immediately toss his 30 some odd delegates to whichever progressive socialist he prefers, and go away. I will miss him, for he provided me great entertainment.
