‘No change’ I can believe in
The New Republic interviewed Charles Barkley. One question was whether his political philosophy has changed over time. His response:
First of all, I never changed my philosophy. I have never been a Republican. I am an independent–just for the record. This myth started in the mid ’90s with an interview with my mother and my grandmother, and my grandmother said something about Republicans being for rich people. I had to break it to her that we were rich! And people took that and ran with it. And let me get one other thing straight: Neither one of these parties is anything to write home about–just for the record.
Alabama is not big enough for Sir Charles’s talents. With the Veep spot spoken for in each party, Secretary of State seems like a good fit.
