There's a story Art used to tell about how Ed Muskie visited the Tt. Laud. Seed, and afterwords the media grilled him about either his or his wife's treatment for depression - he cried, it made the national headlines, and he later withdrew from the race. I've seen the newspaper article.

Art always used that story as an illustration of how the media can make a story out of a trivial event.

I bet a quick online search would turn this up.

That was the same incident that my husband described. I guess it was Muskie that visited that day when he stood up.

From wikkipedia:

"Many also blame Muskie's loss on his emotional defense of his wife, Jane Muskie, after the Manchester Union-Leader, a conservative newspaper criticized Mrs. Muskie. Muskie seemingly wept as he spoke outside the newspaper's offices, yet he would later claim that what seemed to be tears were actually melted snowflakes. Had this not been a controversy, many question whether Muskie would have won the nomination and gone on to defeat President Nixon."

So this indicates it didn't happen outside of the Seed, as Art said. Or perhaps I misunderstood the story.

Was Muskie a Yenzer? Maybe he just cried every time somebody shoved a camera in his face?

LOL, just keep an eye out now that I've mentioned it. You'll see. Every time some yenzer gets on national tv, he cries. Doesn't matter why--tragic news story or heart warming human interest thing--yenzers will cry!

Ppl from around here, some of them, call their friends yenz the way southerners use ya'll. It's You ones or yunz but w/ the local brough it comes out like yenz. Also, interestingly enough, they don't have feelings, even though they cry for joy so much. They have fillings.

Fillings
My dentist gives me fillings
But first he gives me drillings
That rattle my heeeeaaaaaad...

Fiiiiiilings
Oh, whoah, whoah, whoah fiiiiiliiiings...  

There's no biochemical test to distinguish the so-called manic-depressive person from the elated or despondent football fan. Nor is there any resan to assume the manic-depressive's inner experience is driven by twisted molecules while the football fan's is driven, at worst, by twisted values

Naw, it's slippy out and the dog needs walked.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism.
