"He's got about as much chance of being president as he does having the full respect of the people of North Carolina."

That, I love!

You will enjoy this remark re Edwards: "He's got about as much chance of being president as he does having the full respect of the people of North Carolina."

"Well, the funny papers have a lot of jokes in it. Maybe this will be one of them one of these days," he said. "He's got about as much chance of being president as he does having the full respect of the people of North Carolina."

Another great zinger from Uncle Jesse. I just wish I was old enough to watch his commentaries on WRAL...

My parents remember him!
BTW I forgot to get back to you on that NC job search thread the other day.

You said:
"If it was up to me, the next Constitutional Amendment would proclaim that all restaurants in all states of the Union must serve sweet tea, with at least, but not limited to, 1/2 cup of sugar per gallon of tea."

Did you see that someone in Ga. actually put forth a bill to make sweet tea mandatory in the state?
It was a Democrat, but I just had to laugh.
