I am not surprised to see you surrounded by beautiful women, John. You Nebraska Dems have something to smile about with Johanns' appointment to Secretary of Agriculture. (Note for non-Nebraskans: Republican Governor Johanns planned to challenge Democratic Senator Nelson in '06. With Johanns now in the Cabinet, Nelson is safe). I will never forget watching a canoe race across when I was seven. It was across the occasional wetlands (is there a term for that?) where the Five State Compact wanted to dump nuclear waste. I was wearing a yellow shirt that screamed SAVE BOYD COUNTY and Ben Nelson did. Around here he almost has an epithet. They say "Ben Nelson, he's a good man."
(a similar note: Implicit here is "even though he's a Democrat." Bush won every county in Nebraka, a state where box elder bugs are called "Democrat beetles").
