A CORRECTION

You might find it hard to believe, but I've fallen victim to cynicism on occasion. I'm thinking of one particular piece I wrote a couple of months ago -- "A Paid Political Announcement" -- which tried to put across the idea that Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush were pretty much the same person. If you like, you can refresh your memory by reading it here.

Well, I've thought long and hard about the two candidates since then, and now realize how terribly wrong I was. So, as a public service, I've detailed their differences in hope that it helps you on Election Day, 2016.
