YES, SOMEONE OTHER THAN BARACK OBAMA ONCE GAVE A KEYNOTE: Not to get political here, but the fact that former Governor of Texas Ann Richards has died strikes me as worth noting. Whatever you thought of her politics, she was one of the few politicians who was always there with a quip at the ready that frequently made you think as much as laugh. Wikiquote alleges that she was the first to observe that "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels." And her daughter has carried on in her mother's footsteps. I wish we had more like her.
