Familiar Places on TV
Today I had Fox News on in the background, and I thought I heard a familiar name. I grab the TiVo controls and hit rewind (ok... I'll admit it... I didn't think we needed the TiVo, and while we didn't need it, it's a lot more useful that an VCR, that's for sure). Sure enough, President Bush was in Collinsville, IL today.
Collinsville is pretty darn close to where I grew up. Close enough that one of my best friends from high school lived there. Close enough that I got the joke when the President said he wished Laura was there with him so they could go see The Catsup Bottle. That was just funny.
I'm not really going to get into the focus of his speech ( jury award limits on malpractice cases)- I argued the point enough with my dad. You either think that frivolous lawsuits need to be stopped, or you don't.
It was just cool to see President Bush so close to where I once called home.
