My mother was smart. My brother was built at an early age for a rough and tumble sport. He wanted to play football like his friends. Psst ~ (I knew his main reason was to attract girls).
My mother convinced him that brawn was fleeting but learning and intelligence would serve him better over a lifetime. And she was right. Two years after graduating from university, he married a lovely woman who shared the same interests, and both became professionals in their field.
Fortunately, they also broke the vicious cycle of brawn over brains in their own sons.
Incidentally, one of those young sons had a yen for race car driving ~ until he watched Dale Earnhardt, the best in the business, die in an accident. I think that's when he decided that all the glitz and glamor wasn't what it was cracked up to be.
"Harris and the DNC are shipping $20 million to committees supporting House and Senate candidates."
So that's why a Republican House PAC is passing a tin cup around asking for $35 million.
