[Rhodes22-list] SS: Time for a political Hail Mary

[stan]

Brad,

Oh, I don't know.   Just making a liberal point.

When I was at the U of TX in my youth surrounded by a bunch of beautiful TX 
co-eds,  I made an AH out of myself by assuming that the heavier, least 
attractive one was Jewish and that the beautiful blue eyed blonde was not 
(my prejudicial instincts of those years) and of course it was just the 
opposite.
