Stan, I have an article in the discard stack about character revealed. It discussed how a former politician acts after they are no longer in the hunt that their true character is revealed. My judgement of Character used to be my first gateway in selecting a candidate, but that has been somewhat diluted recently.
Example number one of character post public office : Al Gore

The sad part of this is that some people (how many I have no idea) think the school officials did the right thing. I am also worried about their stance on the proper way to wear a baseball hat. Should the sun visor be used to protect the eyes or the back of a red neck.

I am not sure which picture is accurate. The first is shown as is I downloaded it with the bat addition in place of a golf club (it could have been doctored by a Liberal). The comment picture has been doctored (by me, a deplorable) to reflect a slim and more trim Donald. I can't believe anything I see anymore on the internet.


It reminds me of the guy who was caught by his wife in a motel with his secretary.


"Now honey, are you going to believe what I tell you are your lying eyes?"

After watching the link below, I remembered a song that illustrated the point of why music is the best put down, Here is John Denver poking fun at Gary Hart. Only Bubba Clinton can get away with that stuff after Gary. I think we may all have a Bubba friend who seems to be impervious to repercussions. Hell, for a while, I might have qualified but I have a friend who holds the un-contested 2nd place, or at least he did.

IT MAY BE A BIT ROUGH BUT NOT TOO BAD

It's true. When my mother passed in 1999 she was 87 years old. I was 54. Their little three-bedroom home still had a sign on the two extra bedroom doors. One said Jim's Room and the other had a sign for me as well.

In this age of everyone having an excuse for their actions, somehow the words fit together, as in "They can't help it, they are just plain Deplorable Crackers."

Kinda has a ring to it.

I used to know which, but now I guess I get to choose which I identify with. I'm guessing CRACKER!

A boy's fascination with trains, planes and cars tends to prove that Thomas Wolfe was wrong. I spent many hours in the viaducts of Atlanta wandering around the Underground before it became a tourist attraction. In the fifties you could stand at the end of the Atlanta Airport runways and watch the planes come and go with only a chain link fence between you and the touchdown. Later it was a great place to park with a date and dream of other destinations.

When I moved back from Florida to Atlanta in 1978, my boss told me "Dump the pimp suits, you are not in Florida anymore." I have a picture to prove it.

I found it informative that the Justice department gave immunity and not the FBI. Comey stated that he was not involved in the immunity negotiations. The FBI apparently is acting merely as a fact-finding sniffer but is not in the prosecuting mode. You and I may differ on Comey's motives but I know that nothing would ever come of a referral to prosecute in this administration and justice department.

I don't think we have seen this level of abuse since Nixon went through three FBI directors after Hoover died and had a corrupt attorney General and staff as well. Not much has changed in the abuse game

Apparently there is no William Ruckelshaus around now to resign in the face of what appears to be a massive cover-up.

Speaking of golf or politics. What are those red markers on the 1 to 18th holes on a golf course?

Careful Ryan, you are in danger of becoming a principled and practical political partisan. That will make you the kind of voter that our founders envisioned in the creation of this country. That is not a criticism but a tribute to your analysis. Politics is a cheer-leading sport while governing is an on the field event. In a game of X and O's we sometimes get lost in watching the pretty girls on the sideline instead of the three yards and a cloud of dust on the field.

The cheerleaders are there to keep the crowd enthusiastic but the coaches are there to keep the players focused on the game plan. However, the players are the ones who play the game. Your analysis is spot on and hopefully there are those in the Trump camp who can help him with both the perception and authenticity of his positions.

I did not watch the debate or the after game analysis for the same reason that I do not contemplate my life had I not been born. Some events impede any speculation of what if. I have already made my decision and have left the stadium. I encourage you to become a player in the game, then eventually a coach. There will be plenty of cheerleaders as needed but "Teddy R" gave us the best advice about being in the arena and you are well on your way to making that difference.

Keep up the good work and don't lose the faith. Thanks for indulging an old man in the wee hours of the morning with too many metaphors and sports allusions on his mind.

There is an Indian museum in Washington.

The National Museum of the American Indian operates three facilities. The museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.,

I am all in for a National Museum on every walk of American life, as long as it is historically accurate, fully encompassing and representative of the great American experience.

I still have not reviewed the debate tape yet. Here is how I would rate the debate sight unseen.

1. Did anybody on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, or NBC switch from Hillary to Trump?
2. Did anybody on Fox switch from Trump and Hillary?

If not, then we are pretty much back to square one.

I guess the only way for me to get an in-depth analysis & perspective is to check my "Friends" comments on Facebook. I'll do that right after I change my unfollow settings. Some of my friends post on FB as often as I do on BCN. Heaven forbid.

Well, once the Donald gets into office, I suspect there will be a renaming of the Lockheed C5A. I suppose we could use it for all the B, C, & D list celebrities who overflow from the first Class A list flight.

I use the Trilogy version which was arranged by Mickey Newberry and later stolen by Elvis. Elvis did a good job, but Mickey put more heart into it. Mickey Newbury is a songwriter most famous for a song he arranged, but did not write. One night in Los Angeles, at a time of national distress over war and race issues in the U.S.A he arranged the three songs that covered the full breadth of the race issues then and now.
