Wednesday Post (Clusterf*ck) Debate OT

Hope it went the way you all hoped. Other than a ball gag or another assassination attempt–since moderators and factchecking are too much to hope for– I can't imagine anything newsworthy happened. I just wish half the US voting population would just admit their sole idea of a "real" American is a straight, white, misogynistic man, and that the rest of us can just go to hell (if we won't serve them). I'm going to put the rest of the election on fuzzfocus and figure out what we need to do after November 5. Here's Walt Kelly's Pogo with his usual happysad take on the world:
James Wechsler ('The NY Post" and "Jimmy wechsler" on the boat) was a New York Post muckraker who was a thorn in the sides of J. Edgar Hoover, Senator Joe McCarthy, and Tricky Dick. A pro and a patriot. His reporting on Nixon resulted in the infamous "Checkers Speech" from Nixon. We need people like him and Kelly more than ever. "Silent Majority" is a reference to one of Nixon's televised SOTU speeches.

That's Fremount the Boy Bug who mostly said two words, "Jes' fine", making him popular in Okefenokee Swamp.

"Uncle Tom" was always a cringe word, and I'm cringing right now reading it.

Porky Pine is me. Pogo is a saint.

Say your piece or blow off steam below. I may not respond, but others will. Peace.
