Seeing as we are unfamiliar with sarcasm, I shall close the register at this point.
I'm very familiar, it's just not funny, and coming from you, it wouldn't be surprising if it was serious.

Out of interest, who is John Edwards? (Ignorant Briton here)
Fugitive Sisyphus
Escape Artist
He is a former democratic vice-presidential candidate who is known for having an expensive hair-do and being a rich lawyer. He is now one of the thousands of people who are running for president in 2008.

Ah-ha, another one of those. Never been able to keep track of American politics, despite a weekly Economist subscription.
