Great analogy, and I would also contend that they would have used whatever means necessary to reach as many people as they could, to whatever extent they were capable.

If not for the politics, for the women. Both men, especially Franklin, were rather amorous.

He was a great man because his son thought so, and that is high praise: beaufortcountynow.com

I get why your father threw out the image of your mother, and I find it a bittersweet moment poignant purpose to do so. I have been married for 38 years, and I get you dad's impulse.

Good post on the pros and cons of an Apprenticeship program.

Personally speaking, I would be reluctant to train anyone unless they were well motivated toward the longevity of a commitment to the precept of what we do.

Correctamundo Old Friend.

It is not so much who controls the polls, but who controls the ballot box; long a Democrat maxim. I Our of my 5 general election victories, I had one recount, whereby I was challenged when I only won by about 45 votes. When it looked like I would prevail against the Democrat Board of Election, the local Democrat Newspaper - The Washington Daily News - wrote an editorial stating: "If Stan Deatherage really cared about the county taxpayer, he would concede and not unduly cost the already strapped taxpay for the cost of the recount."

I reiterate, I'm the candidate that won the race and was challenged.

I tend to have a very honest understanding of the Democrat /Liberal mind; and, you know, 'a mind is a terrible thing to waste'.

Fine work B.T. on giving us the politically scientific overview.

What may be the case here in Georgia's 6th District may translate into these very poor election results turning even worse if the Democrats continue down their monolithic path of destroying President Trump at all costs.

You can not go back. Study their menu and recreate it at home.

You must 6 degrees of separation from the "Brazelton Rag".

If you can not do this, we must "Impeach" you for your "non antifascist" behavior ...

Great analogy Ted: You are BCN's version of Jane Goodall observing the Great Ape; you, instead, observe squirrels.

I live on a heavily wooded, large lot, and I really enjoy the squirrels; even when they hurl their spent pine cones at me from 120 feet up.

Great piece of writing B.T. I love the roller coaster analogy, for I think I was riding with you for a bit.

Music is a wonderful art. Now that I am out of politics /governing, when I work with tools, I don't recite speeches or think about what I saw in the news, I think about music: melody and verse.

You're right. I have dated two extraordinarily beautiful women in my life.

The first one did not work out, and this song rang a deep bell for me. The second beautiful woman, I married 39 years ago, and sired 4 children with her. She is still extraordinarily beautiful ... and my best friend.

Maybe that is why I forgot about the song for so terribly long. It is still a great song on so many other levels, and yes, those picking licks will be hard to duplicate; I may just strike out to achieve my own feel /mood.

Remarkably, my voice works fairly well for this type song.

Watching and listening to this video once again after so many years of forgotten praise of this song, I am very much looking forward to your accompaniment, Lynn, when I get the picking down a bit better with the phrasing of the lyrics.

As I said in my piece, I have not thought of Gordon Lightfoot in nearly a decade, maybe more, and then I remembered this fantastic song, and it is just as powerful now as it was then.

You are so right Sarge, and well said in defense of Diane Rufino's treatise.

Did you ever think you would live to see the day when a political candidate is nearly indicted on a plethora of real felonies, but survives all because of her political connections, and then brazenly joins the ultra biased "resistance" movement against the candidate that won by a near landslide in the Electoral College, claiming that President Trump is "illegitimate".

Bad losers and bad Americans all around for these pathetic core Democrats.

Only two left, but thank God for Chuck Leavell. He is as much a Brother as anyone else.

It is at times like this, when Americans will probably be asked to give up a bit of their privacy that one will likely question the propriety of the 44th president's predilection to use the surveillance of private Americans to further his political needs.

One more thing, Bobby Tony. This last comment of yours has enough in it for a mighty post; if for no other reason your summation in your poetic last line: "I would ask for a double-shot of Vodka in my Kool Aid."

Beautiful.

I bet Alex has thought of this an anecdotal possibility.

I don't think any of us were ready for the dishonest Democrat Media to become so hysterical; including Donald J. Trump.

Now that is cool. I want to do illustrations one day, or in my next life write a novelette and do the illustrations, but, alas, so little time.

So much to do.

I will have to be content to vicariously live through my wise, working contributor - Kathy Manos Penn.
