I'm not following the recount drama all that closely, but it interests me for 
a quasi-personal reason. The DNC Chairman, Edward Rendell, and I went to 
school together--he is about four years younger, but his brother was a 
classmate and friend for awhile.

Rendell was the Philadelphia DA before he was mayor and as I read about 
accusations of what my wife calls "figgly-miggly" in the FL vote, I can't 
resist the fantasy that he knows people  who'd be very good at 
"investigating" such a situation.

I know George V. Higgins has died, so, regrettably, we won't be getting a 
book out of all this called "The Friends of Eddie Rendell."
