Fill in whatever title you want or--don't fill in anything. I am fresh out of catchy titles for this blog. I can no longer pretend it cannot get worse before it does get worse. So rather than struggle for a thougtfuil headline, I decided to encourage you to let your own mind wander and figure soethihng out. Moving on. --I watched it live and got scared. I have listened to the talking heads every day since January 6 and got more scared. And,now, I am scareder still about the inaugeration and the lead up to it. John Klelly has reappeared to tell us how bad things are--even though he was enabler in chief for a good chunk of time. I don't want to hear from Kelly or any other person who never spoke up until people had died and there was blood spilled. Kellye Anne? please. Scaramucci, please. Republican enablers all. their silence and, in some cases their explicit support, allowed this POTUS to get away with inciting this mayhem. Not intersted in any of them attempting to resurrect their reputations. I hope they are all un3employe3d forever and a day. I am done with that crew. -- A memory. ln 1968, the summer olympics were held in Mexico City. Tommie Smith and John Carlos won gold and silver in either the 200 meters or the 400--i forget which. What I haven't forgotten is that they each raised black gloved hands and bowed their heads at the playing of the national anthem. It was a sacrilege to see Josh Hawley raise his left hand (sans glove) to encourage the rioters. Even after the riot when the chambers were "safe", Hawley still went ahead with challenging the electoral votes. --Question--Am i supposed to praise that Raffensberger guy for doing his job and upholding the constitution? Not here and not until he backs off from supressing Georgia voters. --I know the virus is out of control. But callilng each case or each death as a record setter does not set the right tone. Records get set in sports or someplace else for positive occurrences. Not for deaths partly caused by the mishandling of the virus. --One picture after the riot really hit me. It was a picutre of the African American capitol staff cleaning up the mess left by the predominantly white rioters. On their lhands and knees cleaning up our capitol. --How did you like the guy with the "Camp Auschwitz" tee shirt? A fine exapmpe of manhood that. Wonder what Jared and Ivanka thought of it. --What do you make of a Jewish man and an African American man winning senate seats in that hot bed of progressive politics, the state of Georgia. I never expected both to win. I will say Kelly Loeffler is an idiot. --So, the Republicans have about 5 days to muck things up--as of an hour ago they already postponed the first scheduled confirmation hearing. Cannot wait until MItch gets kicked to the sideline. --In the Department of Who Cares--Sheldon Adelson has passed away. --Keep all fingers and toes crossed in advance of and during the inaugeration. Shalom.
