Signs of Agreement?

Pious Agnostic has a double-header today - this fascinating comparison, and this rather hopeful-sounding story:

These guys were soiled from a day's labor, their clothes covered with sawdust. We struck up a conversation as we waited. They were tree-trimmers from Mobile, Alabama, who had come down to Orlando because of all the work available after our run-ins with Charley and Frances. Two of them were about my age, the third seemingly much older. We discussed how sucessful they'd been at finding work, not knowing the area; and also their intentions to go back to Mobile, since Ivan was bearing down on it, as we could see on the television in the waiting area.

The news story changed to Kitty Kelly's new book, and highlighted her allegations that president Bush used cocaine at Camp David during his father's presidency.

Everyone in the room agreed that the story was horseshit; and that Bush was a fine guy and would be reelected.

There's hope for the president when three black entrepreneurs from Mobile, Alabama and white office-worker from Orlando all agree on this.

To quote the Professor - indeed.
