Ughh, please don't turn this into a political thread! Look, I can tell you firsthand that Jim is critical of both Dems and Republicans. Never once in the 4 years I was with his daughter did he demonstrate a political bias, okay? In fact, one of the reasons his daughter and I broke up is because she wasn't liberal enough for me, and I'm not exactly a bleeding heart. It's just how he sees things in this particular instance. He won his 2 Pulitzers for muckraking during the reign of the Dems in Congress, by the way.

And thanks for the compassionate words, Eeyore. She was and still is a very beautiful young woman, inside and out.
