About Me

Born May 18, 1953; got saved at Truett Memorial BC in Hayesville, NC 1959. On rigged ballot which I did not rig got Most Intellectual class of 71, Gaffney High School. 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. Had a Pakistani Jr. Davis Cupper on the Ropes the summer of 84, City Courts, Rome Georgia I've a baby sitter, watched peoples homes while they were away on Vacation. 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. Had some good moments in Collinsville as well. Ask Casey Mattox at www.clsnet.org if he will be honest about it. I try my best to make it to Bridges BBQ in Shelby NC at least four times a year.

Civics education, Strange Dreams and Imaginary Numbers

This blog is random. Several topics many of which I have considered for full blown blog but by time I get to computer the passion has waned

Had a strange dream last night. On Furman campus I didnt recognize feeling completely out of place and unmoored . didnt recognize anybody and couldnt find a way to get home aware Momma and Daddy were no longer there when I would get there and now my brother.

That was about 3 pm but the rest of the night was relatively peaceful given undiagnosed arthritis and other maladies.

Havent seen a good movie in a while but leaning toward Conclave and a recommend from the New Yorker about Jenny and time fog. Hope to see Slingblade with Cal and Mac and a Series game with Tilman and Eva but time is short for the Yankees.

Want them to know about Bucky Dent and the fall of 78 when I ended up in Knoxville tn

Tried to get to Finebaum yesterday to talk about Nick Saban as an enemy from Within according to Thump. I hope the Puerto Rican fiasco is the end of the SOBeach. Pennsylvania should do it to him. He aint NO Eisenhower and the Nazi Ralley he held in the Garden; well PBS got that right with footage from the Original in the Forties.

Still Franklin Graham and FBC Spartanburg have their collective heads up their asses and cant't distinguish to a Hole in the Ground.

Is it the fault of the Fundy takeover of the SBC, HS Football coaches moonlighting as civics teachers in Greer SC; Jack leg preachers. Who TF knows

Among several compelling pieces for Harris at this moment is maybe the definitive piece in the New Yorker by Adam Gopnik.

One thing rings true for me. Harris if nothing else will bring an administraion to govern with her with extremely more virtue and wisdom than Thump, who will not even listen to the SOBS he brings in which will be the bottom of shit tub worse than last time.

But Franklin Graham and the SBC will be there eager to Pray Over the SOBS while the other half of US hold our Breath.

Is Nick Saban one of Trump's enemies from within; Snyder Memorial and Trump appeal to "faith leaders" in North Carolina

Like I speculated in an earlier blog on Trevor Lawrence, I dont think Nick Saban is gonna vote Trump. Best I could tell Saban avoided Trump when he came to Tuscaloosa for the Georgia game and Nick wasnt happy when eight years ago Trump called two of his his Heismann trophy winners Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry Sons a bitches for not kissing Trump ass over the Kaepernick matter.

As I blog earlier in a conversation with me 2020 Trevor Lawrence was not happy with Trump either. Trevor sided with Drew Brees in that dust up

Saban gave a million dollars a few years ago to the Student Ministry at St Francis Catholic Church. in Maga world that certified Saban as an Enemy of the People. Katie Britt should investigate along with a look at the Honors Program and her FUMC in Montgomery. It is a face Trump thinks the United Methodist Church is an Enemy of the People as is the Alliance of Baptists and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. So look out FBC Rome, Dalton, Gainesville, Athens Macon, Americus. Maranatha in Plains, Northside Atlanta and Vineville BC in Macon you are on the watch list. Stand up now and tell your neighbors to vote against the Bastard Trump

Outside Charlotte the heart of Billy Graham land Trump make an appeal to so called "faith leaders" to stand with him. Churches Like Snyder memorial in Fayetteville NC and their Reited military constituency know better. Hopefully they will resist the Trump bull sheet informed by New Yorker article by Gopnik and the earlier one on Evangelicals for Harris including Billy Graham grand daughter Jerushah tchvidjian Duford. For me Shaine Claiborne of Maryville Tn seals the deal

And there is the Baptist News Global piece on super trumper Eric Metaxas and the distortion of the legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Metaxas has been embraced by FBC Spartanburg and Tony Beam, the home church of Trey Gowdy and his Mother Ovalene. Franklin Graham is hard wired to that congregation. they have some expleaining to do.
