  1. I just posted this to John Kerry’s official blog. Certainly I would like permission to use some of the excellent stuff posted here. By the way I am Katherine’s Regina’s mother.
    To John Kerry
    From Jane Austen
    Please read my new blog first thing in the morning before you say anything.

  3. “By the way I am Katherine’s Regina’s mother.”
    It never fails: nobody ever tells me anything. Anyway, welcome to the site and make yourself comfortable! 🙂

  4. Thank you Moe. One of these days a link to my new blog
    http://www.ebloggy.com/queenjane/ would be appreciated.
    I just checked out a copy of John Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage from the library; that will be JFK jr. reading material for the day. Of course, Jackie and Theodore Sorenson almost certainly wrote it, but at least JFK Sr. had good taste in words to steal.

  6. RX Please read John F. Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage as soon as possible. Take it to heart.
    “This is a book about the most admirable of human virtues–courage. “Grace under pressure,” Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by eight united States Senators and the grace with which they endured them–the risks to their careers, the unpopularity of their courses, the defamation of their characters, and sometimes, but sadly only sometimes, the vindication of their reputations and their principles.
    A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or reward that quality in its chosen leaders today–and in fact we have forgotten.”
    Thus far JFK would not include a chapter on you.

  7. I was strolling around Roosevelt Field in Garden City, Long Island, following an interview at Nassau County Democratic Headquarters. I made myself a Kerry hat. I took my late mother’s blue anti-skil-cancer sun bonnet, marked it Kerry and JFK 2004. I tied a flag scarf around the brim, attached an artificial rose. Most male immigrants notice and say how much they like the hat. Otherwise people are so busy avoiding human eye contact that th ey don’t notice the hat. Babies obviously want one, and some cute dogs have been eyeing it longingly. These days in Manhattan and Nassau County my hat is the only open acknowledgment that a presidential campaign is happening this year.
