1. My parents and all but one of my relatives grew up liberals. @JoeBiden at Warm Springs Georgia is his connection with that tradition evidenced by today’s pilgrimage. It connected him historically like plugging into electricity on FDR’s hallowed ground.
2. My parents were Massachusetts Irish Catholic New Dealers from two Western Mass political families banished by the @AP to MO in the 1950s. When JFK ran I was thrilled. PT109 and the Kennedy charm was irresistible to a nine year-old politician wannabe.
3. But my parents were lukewarm at first on JFK. He wasn’t an ideological liberal. Plus my family viewed the Kennedy family as bootleggers. Not that there weren’t probably bootleggers in our family but being nowhere near as successful at it perhaps made it easier to hide.

Wallace Beery shows up 30 minutes into BEGGARS OF LIFE (1928), a film in which he's given top billing.
His king-of-the-hobos character is so matter of fact in his menace to Louse Brooks' character, it's almost startling.
