Quick Note for You Assholes Out There
Today in ABC News' The Note:
Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) plans to call for the elimination of poverty over the course of the next 30 years in what his aides are billing as a "major policy address" at the National Press Club in Washington, DC at 1:00 pm ET.An Edwards aide tells The Note that the North Carolinian plans to "lay out a comprehensive agenda to achieve this goal, including: radically overhauling HUD, creating 1 million stepping stone jobs in the next five years, raising the minimum wage, strengthening our educational system, calling for 'second-chance schools' focused on helping dropouts, helping Americans save for the future, and cutting taxes for low-income workers and families."
That's the kind of thing I think of when people tell me John Edwards has no substance.

Hey,
It was a great speech. You can watch it on c-span (search for john edwards, sort by date, and then play!).
But you can also read it here:

And, Bob Herbert of NYTimes informed us (through his column today) that Edwards wrote the speech himself. You don't get any more substantive than that.
I hope to hear more of such speeches from Edwards and hopefully America will give him a chance to implement all these solutions he has come up with. When was the last time we had a visionary in the White House? Reagan was the last one, but alas, it was the wrong vision.
