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.

Election Eve 2020

   I thought Obama 2008 was gonna be the last election where I got passionate about things but then Trump the Junk comes along and two steps back we are. Last night there was a Trump fiasco just three miles from where my Dad grew up in the Celanese Village of Rome Ga where his Dad labored from 29 to 79. And Lindsey Graham tonight is at the Madren Center at Clemson about four miles from where he was raised in the upstairs above the liquor store and pool hall in Central.

    Like me he was raised Babdists and I think we have mutual acquaintances in Daniel High School's Anna Thode and Karen Baker, and now Trevor Lawrence at Clemson.

    Trevor wears a warm up Tee with Bold Lettered "We Need Change". Saw the picture yesterday in the Anderson Independent Mail.

   Sunday it seemed Chuck Todd was thinkin Biden was gonna pick off one of the four, Ohio, NC, Ga or Florida by nine pm Tuesday and the nightmare of Trump would be over, but this morning he is entertaining the horror of the evangelical women holding fast and the nation goes through the Trump chaos till Pennsylvania is resolved. Imagine the Dung Fox News will fling between now and Then. I'm proud of progressive Baptists for finally calling out Fox News just last week at baptist global news.

   Disappointed in Furman, however for silence on the Hobart Lewis ad supporting Lindsey Graham. I am confident Marshall Frady woulda had a piece in the New Yorker by now comparing Hobart for Lindsey implicitly handicapping the dignity of people of color in the ad, comparable to Atwater's Willie Horton or Atwater and Carroll Campbell on the Greenville Jew, Max Heller, as Not "one of us."

    I guess that's the Furman disadvantage, Handwringing I'm sure when Danielle Vinson and Jessica Taylor are set to "shine" Live Zoom networked to the Cook Political Report.

   My Dartmouth friend Randall Balmer had a great piece up this morning reminding people that abortion politics grew out of race baiting and race resentment politics. That's the truth Lindsey Graham won't explore about Amy Coney Bee.

   And a Wofford Staffer two days ago, staffer for Christ Church US Rep William Timmons of Trey Gowdy's SC 4th; wofford grad couldn't distinguish had no thoughts on the comparable virtue of Fox News to NPR and PBS. What a crock from an otherwise nice guy.

    Yes patriots send your children to a great school, have them major in communications and have them come out promoting sheet shows without having any more depth than a degree from Plainview HS in Rainsville alabama.

   Pardon me Jordan Doufexis, but that one was for you and Will Ainsworth.

    

    See the UTexas Austin proff on PBS Newshour of last Wednesday.

     My Nephew was in a Trump motorcade yesterday that went from Lowe's in Greer to Verdae on 385 and then down 85 about hundred cars strong. And a cousin in Alaska is eaten up with the farce of Trump as well. I've lost two facebook friends in the last two weeks, one of the weekend. They quit me, one in the Tuberville camp, deep in it, and another a friend from High School deep with Trump.

   But so far the daughter of Nixon Southern Strategist Harry Dent, Ginny; we abide.

   Well maybe a post election later in the week, then I will think about other things. Think I'm gonna read Zuchinni on the Wilmington riot, maybe Tye on Trump the Demagogue and for certain Tyll about the Prankster during the Thirty Years war where Christians bled each other about 100 thousand worth.
