NO joke: John Edwards embarks on poverty tour.

Democratic presidential candidate and former U. S. Senator John Edwards, is embarking on what is billed as a poverty tour, designed "to bring awareness to America's poverty". You can read about it here. Call me a cynic if you must, but while I think it admirable to shed light on poverty, is John Edwards REALLY the light bearer. As a multi-millionaire himself, unless he wants to give up some of his money to help eradicate poverty, is he to be taken seriously? From my viewpoint, I guess the tour will commence just after he has had a $250 hair cut, drank some latte, snacked on on caviar on prime rib tips, and dined on foie gras, which he'll wash down with a glass of the finest vintage dinner wine.
