Jimmy Carter was right about climate change. He was right about the Mideast conflict and apartheid in Israel and South Africa and the ongoing plagues of poverty and racism. It was he not Reagan who freed our hostages in Iran. A true man of God, he died beloved, which not many presidents do or will.

Here's to Jimmy Carter, a great man who the country did not entirely deserve. He also, not coincidentally, appointed my Father-in-Law to be a federal judge, which is a reminder to me that people of integrity who love the law & believe in justice can fill those positions & make us a better country.
