Define success.

And slow down, you move too fast, you got to make the morning...

The morning is GONE. I must love what I do. How cool is that?

Excellent, I look forward to it.

Have you?

Have I been acquainted with you by another name? I posted as litwit at Bill Maher.

I am not so fine with either. Since we seem to be solidly in the same chapter if not on the same page, can we both go with Edwards.

Fear of failure does not trouble Super Heroes, I realize, but it's Player in Regular Psyches. I wouldn't be sticking my neck out like this if I wasn't pretty damn sure.

Everyone wants applause sometimes. People appreciate being appreciated.

Need is a most important concept. Rightly, they are very few. Breathable air and drinkable water, sufficient nutritious food, shelter and sleep, what else?

Then there are the Basics of a Life Worth Living. Human dignity, healthcare, justice, rest and recreation, security in retirement, security from threats foreign and domestic, fair wages for fair work, what else?

Those What Else's are the thrust of these two years of hard labor, for which I PAY, not for which I am paid...though I am hopeful that many of you will stay abreast at ImplausibleEndeavors.com and see fit to send me two dollars.

I believe that, by any Right knowledge, understanding or application of Thomas Paine's Rights of Man, the American People are getting screwed by their own Government...on a daily basis, in hundreds if not thousands of ways.

I believe that the American People lack organization, voice, and legal representation.

I believe I am a Voice of the People. All people, frankly...'cept Middle Eastern Men. And Klan. And Neoconservatives. And Religiosos. Who else?

There are some people with whom I do NOT see eye to eye, and for whom I do NOT speak. I will take this and every opportunity to emphasize that I have highest regard for, which is to say I fear, the People that I do not represent. As it happens, the People that I do not represent are the People for whom assassination, kinda sorta non-specifically, is in the Game Book.

I'm not thrilled about that. You cannot imagine how happy I am to learn from al Asaad that the Koran forbids an attack on a woman...or on anyone who has not made a declaration that I have NOT, in point of fact, made. Thank you, yes, I WILL tag that Home Free base twice.

Religiosos don't dare for the same reason. They will go straight to Hell, it's not debatable.

Who Else? Big Money is who else. I am definitely taking on the Big Boys. So, I am vulnerable to Klan, Neoconservatives and Big Money, and I am not liking those odds.

I pray upon these groups to HEAR ME OUT.

CLEARLY, ALL Y'ALL AIN'T DOIN' IT RIGHT.

I have credentials from the same key non-accredited schools that you do. Ultimately, I am more help than harm. Like I told AT&T, we can do this [the hard way or we can do this the easy way, but we're doin' it.] If I'm wrong, you can always kill me later. Hear me out, or you stand exposed as the chickenshit bullies that you are.

I digress.

I am a Voice of the People.

John Edwards is a hot shot attorney.

I am not without a plan.
