Furman Grad, Sociology major but it was little tougher than Auburn football players had Had three dates with beautiful women the summer of 1978. Did not marry any of em. Never married anybody cause what was available was undesirable and what was desirable was unaffordable. Unlucky in love as they say and even still it is sometimes heartbreaking.

Freelance writer, local consultant, screenwriter, and the best damn substitute teacher of Floyd County Georgia in mid 80's according to an anonymous kid passed me on main street a few years later when I went back to get a sandwich at Schroeders.

How Trump week played in Dixie with \SEC football and Bama |Senate race

  Forgive the imminent typos as I left the hsoue without my reading glasses.

   Paul \finebaum, a Jew and Ut \grad  of the \sec network a few years ago was profiled n New Yorker magazine. Last week \trump poliotics entangled him as right wing media yellowhammer News snared him in a dust up with \Auburn football coach Tommy tuberville on matters of \Trump and religion, Sec commish Greg Sankey can't dodge this one like |Riochard |Shelby dodged \trump implying Heisman trophy winner derrick henry  was anSOB,

    Long story short NYorker   editor David Remnick wrote a  scorching piece you can google about \trump, Limbaugh and \Race. It gets to the guts of the matter invoking the venal legacy of Lee \atwater. See my blog of Dec on SC 4th district and read the works of Joe Crespino, Darren \grem and \randall \balmer; and \garry Wills if you seek verification of \remnick;s assertions. Also Jon Meacham on the Soul of America.

     Southern Baptists are the religious political culture of the \south. I know cause my Daddy was a preacher in that tradition and Marshall \frady the same who began explaining \george \wallace in the 60s. His Daddy was a preacher.

    The South for all its fits and spins got locked in that white tribe with the fundamentalists takeover of the \sbc and I can give you chapter and verse. Joseph Oneill got that right in the ny review of books in december when the talked about the political choir.

    So here we are with Baptist Lindsay \graham having sold his soul to the trump Devil and James Lankford too juvenile to understand the deeper soundings of his heart.

   As anybody paying attention knows there was a plethora of opinion pieces last week about the corrosion of the Republiocan party. Here is a vain hope that local school board trustees across the south will as alleged examples of education, start reading and thinking beginning with Remnick, and if not that maybe Jeremy Pruett of N\e \alabama consider the \tuberville mess and see if there is a way forward cause if local grassroots folks dont start thinking ; well there goes the neighbord even \sec football cause \trump and his minions are hellbent on FUBAR
