Albany, for lack of a better name. That sack of shit sheriff did decades later eventually die. No loss there. Many Texas towns (Smith Co. - read the book) much the same and probably worse. Frankly, at this point, I don’t know why Lincoln let the f*****s back in the Union. I hope climate lets the entire confederacy drop into the gulf of america. Then there would only be a few fly over states to deal with. You know, for states of people (red maga moron states) who are so ignorant about history, they sure pretend they know something. Here’s what I know: Botox Barbie Noem kills animals. I’ve told this before. My plastic surgery friend used to put all his Botox on his American in distress card. So he took his sweetie chick to France for the long weekend and they sat on a runway in a plane for three days around 9/11 in Norway. Didn’t even get to see Norway…Reality Bites. Here we are again. Searching for Osama bin Laden…hmmm, searching for our current terrorist, 10 years in the making but under our F*ing noses for 79 years. Shame on us. Look for the tawdry gold…that is where it all is.

Football, is that the round ball or the oval one? Look at Tiger. When are we going to recognize each and every one of our strengths and accomplishments? Is it so bad to be a black man who loves basketball, school and becomes president? A white woman who chooses the military profession, loses half her body yet bears children and becomes a respected senator. A troubled child abandoned by his parents, raised by his grandparents, becomes a military employee but can’t really handle it. Do we abandon the not so accomplished and throw them to the wayside? No, we vote for the president and the senator and we ALL help the soldier.

So sad this is still going on. I grew up in deep Southwest GA and in the 74-75 football season, a black boy sat too close to a white girl and the white daddies in the bleachers beat him to death. No more publicity (sheriff still the one who put all of the young people in unidentifiable jails all over the state during the Albany movement which MLK, Jr originally could not attend. When (basically children) nonconfrontational protesters were jailed all over the place and not to be found, MLK, Jr and his lawyer (forget his name, famous in his own right) went down there because afterall it was mlk’s idea to put kids into the protest. At any rate, he worked on getting them out, got his own ass (MLK) thrown in jail and Albany, GA and sheriff pritchett realized it did not look so good to have MLK, Jr in town AND in jail so that venomous red neck sack of shit sheriff released MLK, Jr and eventually all the children who had been standing up in jails around the state because there was no room for almost a month. Sadly that sack of shit lived for another decade or so. My eulogy to him is the same as it will be to orange dump - thank god you are dead.

Just in time. Face is cleansed, heard filtration system clack on. My father kind of got thrown out of the Southern Baptist church. He was originally a Northern Baptist from Land O’ Goshen, IN (Kidding, Goshen).

Back then, neither side admitted defeat. The reviled moved on and the victims licked their wounds and raised up in numbers against the one person who had demoralized them. Yet, they mounted attacks against everyone associated with the reviled - if they could. My mother taught piano to the black son of the woman who helped take care of the church after she, Annie, helped when my younger brothers were born. Mother was ahead of her time, in the hospital, drop the baby, go home, one day of help, you’re on your own :) In repayment (I have shared this story before) she gave little Herman (his father was named Herman and was the custodial staff at the church along with Miss Annie, his wife, and little Herman’s mother. Soooooo, 1963, Deep South GA (hackney races), Mother puts on a piano recital for her students (afterall she was the music ministers wife and the church organist) including Young Herman who was quite good. I flumboozled in my usual fashion because I am a showtime freak and failure. Herman was perfect, in a handsome suit that I am sure his parents could not afford. He was a miracle. We were all so proud. We went to the Grill afterwards and Daddy, being a churchman, asked if the black people could join us in the (what I consider a honckeytonk with Coca-Cola signs on the wall) two bit pretorian slop hazard. NO. So Annie, Big Herman and Little Herman went home. I never saw them again. The obscene (for 1963) phone calls starting coming. We had to move in the middle of the night. It was horrible. I was only on first grade. I loved my teacher. I’ll tell you another story on Pt 2.

What’s the lowest paid salary of a professional (many of whom sit on the bench) football player? Now sort out salaries of people vs those of color. Gotta’ wash my face before the water filter system cycles. - From the swamps of DE…

Florida's AG, a Georgetown Law grad & former Jones Day associate, appears to have been mired in controversy since Gov DeSantis appointed him to fill the post last year. Among other things, he conceived of Alligator Alcatraz & the tradition of Trumpian grift, is by far the state's highest remunerated adjunct law professor: Here's the story from a Sunshine State, "lunatic left" Fox station: https://www.fox13news.com/news/florida-attorney-general-james-uthmeier-working-second-job-uf-adjunct-professor-100k-salary.

Messing with the "Rooney Rule" is not right! What would happen to all these sport organizations and individual teams if all the talented players of color refused to play under this proposed change?
