Politicians

Yesterday I took the afternoon off and spent part of it at the local mall, where I ran into former Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards. I briefly spoke to him while he was shopping at J. Crew. I didn't get pictures, although being there with our 8 month old child we had both camera and video camera with us. Unlike the paparazzi I just think it would be rude to start snapping pictures while someone is trying to shop for cloths.

On the other hand I do wish I had spent a little more time discussing national politics and what I think the US needs in its next presidential administration. What I think we need is some one moderate enough to appeal to the moderate members of both parties and take the government away from its fractured extremism that is standard practice today.
