Uncle John's Cabin
John Edwards took a wrong turn on his way to the "other America" and wound up on a plantation.
(Page 2 of 2)
But even if you can't empathize with the Edwards's politics -- basically, massive expansions of government bureaucracy to be in turn paid for by massive tax increases -- I think all of us can agree on what an absolutely miserable experience moving is, even if it is to a modest 100 acre country seat.
"I'm sitting at the desk in the study now and there's nothing on top of it," Elizabeth Edwards laughed to the Washington Post from their Georgetown home as it was being emptied. "It doesn't look like anybody lives here anymore."
Ah, now she knows what it's really like to live in the other America.
