Ray Bradbury Quote
Let's talk politics, to please Guy!Sounds fine, said Mrs. Bowles. I voted last election, same as everyone, and I laid it on the linefor President Noble. I think he's one of the nicest-looking men who ever became president.Oh, but the man they ran against him!He wasn't much, was he? Kind of small and homely and he didn't shave too close or comb hishair very well.What possessed the 'Outs' to run him? You just don't go running a little short man like thatagainst a tall man. Besides -he mumbled. Half the time I couldn't hear a word he said. And thewords I did hear I didn't understand!Fat, too, and didn't dress to hide it. No wonder the landslide was for Winston Noble. Even theirnames helped. Compare Winston Noble to Hubert Hoag for ten seconds and you can almostfigure the results.
