Don made a comment on my discussion of Zell Miller’s speech at the Republican Convention:
“I missed Zell Miller. My stomach is not strong enough to handle the party conventions.
“I was, however, able to deal with a National Geographic special on exotic foods worldwide, which included rotten cheese filled with squirming maggots.
“In fact, this reminded of the party conventions.”

Don, I am a political specialist. A specialist has to do some pretty foul things. For example, do you notice what a doctor has to do to check your prostate gland?

You are absolutely right. That was a fun commentary concerning my own inclinations. It certainly was not intended to be a criticism of those who can mix it up in the fray. I love those people who are doing the important things we need done which are impossible for me.
And I appreciate my doctor, but I do mathematics and software.
As an aside, I once ran across a doctor I do believe enjoyed the above mentioned task. I won’t elaborate.

I loved Zell Miller’s speech! I caught it by accident while driving home from campus, late that night.
I’m active in party politics. Being old enough to remember when really important stuff got decided at national political conventions, I had a hard time controlling myself when I got
the state party garbage about “We’re so excited we have more
this kind of delegate than ever before!” and when two no-accounts
I know started crowing about how wonderful it was that they were
getting to go to NYC as delegates.
