of rich white men who think the Presidency of the United States is an entry level position to learning governance. Just because Schultz grew up in the projects, pulled himself up by his own bootstraps, and became a billionaire selling coffee does not mean that he's qualified to become president. Cut your teeth in governance somewhere else, not in the highest office our government calls for! We're experiencing that phenomenon at this very moment, and I dare say it's not working out very well.

Another vanity project.

I was extremely fortunate to have met Tommy a few times when I was growing up. He was an incredible public speaker. Sometimes I did disagree with him but he was such a great speaker it could take hours (or even days) for me to figure out just what it was that I disagreed with.

I still periodically email this to all of my friends with the suggestion that they watch it at least once a month to remind themselves why we keep on fighting. I alternate between wishing Tommy was still here and being glad he isn't so he can't see what a gawd awful mess we have made with what he left us. Luv ya man.
