We Ask- And Answer - Our Own Presidential Question ...


     So, here's a little useless SC6-Presidential campaign trivia question: What do Rick Santorum and I have in common?  Both of our grandfathers were Pennsylvania coal miners!  It certainly isn't a mutual love of sweatervests, that's for sure...


   Now, does that qualify us as a presidential contender?  Uhh, no. Not yet at least.  What we can tell you is that two generations from a coal miner is a long way.  I can assure you, I never thought of going in there. Hell, my dad left at 13 years old to get away from it.  Our guess is Santo's never been in a mine either, but that is the story of America: one generation works hard, so his/her child won't have to work as hard... A couple generations later, Skip blows his trust fund or has to sell the family business because he's run it into the ground. We're still waiting on that trust fund....
