Jesse Helms

Jesse Helms is a name that I have heard, but have never been very familiar with. His death early this morning has brought his name back into the spotlight. After reading this, from the Boston Globe, and other articles about him I am now intrigued. Just from this short glimpse, I can tell you I’m a big fan of his politics and his unapologetic character. I think I’ll continue my memoir-streak and pick up his Here’s Where I Stand: A Memoir later this week.

In the mean time, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! I’m especially aware and thankful for all we have here in the United States after spending so much time out of the country recently.
