The one time in 2003 I was in a Chinese restaurant on 7th St. NW in DC and ran into John Ashcroft. I introduced myself, told him it was an honor to meet him, then said "So. How does it feel knowing you lost an election to a dead guy?"
My Philosophy
Tread lightly. This is the only planet we have.
What Gives Me Hope
My children. They are brilliant, beautiful, gregarious, funny and charming. Not that I'm biased.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
