Wesley Clark is the grandson of a mill worker

[Jerseycoa]

I don't know, I just heard him say so to Tim Russert and it struck me funny. :7

1. Is John Edwards his daddy?

11. Are You Alluding To The "Dorian Gray" Effect

4. LOL

ahhh...

[Maddy McCall]

3. He has working-class roots...

Like Gert said on CSPAN today, he could have left the military to work in business and could have probably made millions. But he decided to serve his country instead.

He's a home-grown success.

5. Maybe some day we will have an actual mill-worker run

:think:

7. now thats really funny

I guess he's conceded to Senator Edwards !

Is he going to start hollaring too ?

[Jerseycoa]

9. He didn't use those words; I did

He just said his grandfather had worked in a sawmill. I'm just getting slap-silly. :silly:

8. Was his morther a coal miner's daughter?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

10. James Taylor must be making a comeback

this year. We have two progeny of millworkers, Kerry has to have a big stash of Taylor in his collection--which he keeps beside his Carly SImon CDs (all before she started doing "torch songs")--and Kucinich has looked at love from both sides now.

13. "mill" is a word that no longer has any meaning.

I think the original was for making flour but what about 'steel mills'?...coin mills, juice mills, powder mills, cider mills, cutting devices (vertical/horizontal mills)...abortion mills (!), ad nauseum.

Just my nightly philological rant.
