Nice Thought: Rainbow Bridge

An Edwards supporter sent me a note about the Rainbow Bridge.

I'd like to think that's where Mattie is. As a UU, I don't know. I'm more into the journey than the destination, but comforting thoughts are always welcome.

While I'm at it, my condolences to Fred Baron's family. I've not mentioned him here before, but Fred was a gifted attorney of justice for the little people, just like JRE. He gave back to his friends, and in particular, JRE, in a renting a plane of his for less prices in order for JRE to conduct his campaign and stretch the dollars. I saw the plane once when I went to meet JRE in Bloomington, IL last year for a house party-fundraiser. Fred passed away yesterday in battling cancer, possibly about the same time of the passing our Mattie.

Thank you Fred Baron. You were good to many people, and especially the Democratic Party.

And thank you, Mattie. You gave more to us than we could have possibly asked. Hope you are running under that rainbow.

Fred Baron Helps His Friends...Quietly

Fred Baron is a successful trial lawyer in Dallas. He has known John Edwards a long time. And Baron is actually more successful than Edwards in terms of finances.

I thank Fred Baron for being generous to lease his plane out to John Edwards at a lower rate. I had the privilege of meeting John Edwards when he stepped out the plane in an event nearby my town, and there was NO Rielle.

I thank Fred Baron for trying to help John and Elizabeth in this recent mess, especially at his own expense and reputation.

While this doesn't appear to be honest or transparent, I appreciate Fred Baron for doing this as a close friend, even he didn't tell them what he did. I happen to know that Fred Baron is a friend through thick and thin. We all need good friends like him.
