I have no clue what makes a Scorpio male (although Howard's birthday is the same as that of my father-in-law and everyone in his unit except him was killed in one of the most gruesome battles of World War II). I'm a Pisces, myself, so what do I know?
A long time ago, on a continent far, far away, a friend introduced me to the Governor of Vermont and said he was thinking of running for president some day. I said, umm, sure, OK, but listened to what he had to say, and wow, did he have something to say! It was a wild ride after that. Suddenly this guy I know is on the covers of Time and Newsweek. Huh? Howard? Wow! But during it all, the period where he had Secret Service protection to the time when it was all over to his stint as DNC Chairman to the time after 2008, he has remained my very dedicated, but very down to earth guitar-playing friend who is very jealous of his private family life--no small trick for a guy who travels more miles than Haley's Comet and is not exactly unknown.
