Since we clearly don't agree on politics and since I have never set foot in a tanning salon, one might assume that new Speaker of the House John Boehner and I have nothing in common (aside from a connection to Piqua, OH). Apparently, this is not true. According to this report, Boehner is "notoriously emotional" and yesterday cried a little during a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's inauguration.
So, Mr. Speaker, take it from someone who once had to choke back sobs in a (thankfully dark) Sociology lecture hall while watching a video on the G.I. Bill - there is no shame in being deeply moved by the remarkable institutions upon which our country is built.
And to be fair, I carry tissues so that I can blow my nose when necessary, not because I am at constant risk of spontaneously bursting into tears.
