Jones?
Huh.
The Note reports that "to have a Jones" for something is a reference to drug addiction. I always thought it was a reference to coveting what your neighbor has, i.e., keeping up with the Joneses. Learn somethin' new every day, I guess! Oh, and Dean says that Bush has a jones for oil:
The assembly, which ranged from the coolly considering to the ardently inspired, listened carefully as Dean began to address the overlapping issues of energy and terrorism; when he announced that the country needn't suffer just because Bush "has a jones for oil," the crowd erupted in delighted laughter tinged with a frisson of shock.
The Note amuses me.
