I WISH I WUZ IN THE LAND O COTTON.

I suppose its the heat that makes us so contrary. Humorist A.B.Longstreet said that every real Georgian is a practical joker, and it's true. We naturally like to fuck with people.

Violent opposition to the Democrats erupted here in Tampa last night, I predicted July, but I wasnt far off. A popular local Democrat tried to speak about Obamacare, and some people got hurt when the fist-fights started. She, not being a Southerner, hauled ass; a real Southerner woulda yelled YEE HA and jumped into the fray.

If I wander around the neighbourhood with a knife sticking outta my chest, I'm more interrested in a doctor than a cop. But each to thweir own.

Around here you kind of need a cop the pry the arseholes off long enough for you to get medical attention, it's that kind of neighbourhood.Weirdly you're actually likely to get a doctor. There is this very nice doctor who slums it down here in our local ghetto and nine times out of ten will turn up at any violence related injury if she's home. I'll never know why she lives here. Six blocks away there's actual NICE houses.
 
THE CRUCIBLE.

Sol Stein sez you gotta have a crucible or arena or ring, the protagonist/antagonist cant escape from, for your story to work. This is a plot issue.

Crucible may be too limited a word. Maybe habitat is better. Like Capone and Bugs Moran, maybe protagonist-antagonist compete for habitat.

I think it's those kool-aid drinkin Northeners that really make us cranky, good article, I suspect more trouble as this obama-bullsheet goes on.

I'm bustin my hump making a living, own my on company, and seems like all I hear from the govment is sorry boy! maybe I need a govment check, 40 acres and a mule, nah, I make it, I'll fight, I'm a Southerner...

Much Obliged Jim

If you study it enough you eventually conclude that guvmint spoils about all it touches. My assertion isnt entirely true, but the betting odds are on my side. One man or woman can change things right now, a bureaucracy cant respond to crises during the emergency. So the logical course of remedy is to train people to be self sufficient and hold the fort till the cavalry arrives.

In the BRAVEHEART movie the Wallace character fells a large man, holding a bolder, with a small rock. That act is soooo Southern! You can step away from a massive bolder with a viscous velocity, but you gotta shit & git to flee from a rock zooming along at 90 mph.

And Southerners just naturally feel at home on the field of Mars or the field of honor. Maybe cuz so many of us are Scots and Scots are contrary assholes from the factory.
 
Mornin Jim Hows it going today.

Obama can't seem to understand we don't want his Obama care. He really believes it just a few people string the pot, going around to all these meetings and starting trouble. Poor man doesn't have a clue.

My ol daddy's been say that for over 60 years, and the evidence is clear.

But damnit Jim! I'm gettin tired of dodgin rocks!
 
Howdy doo to you,

He's not honest about it and the folks smell Wall Street & K Street Rats beneath all the paperwork. Its not designed to help us, its designed to restrict competition, restrict access to the best care, and enrich mega-corporations who want an excuse to send their factories and jobs to India, China, and Africa where there are no benefits and people sleep in huts made from cow dung. Plus the big-boxes wanna close their mom & pop neighbors.

Ten years ago you could buy all the produce, shrimp, crabs you wanted, virtually anywhere around here. Today I cant think of one roadside stall or truck in the whole region. Theyre gone. If you want a mater or melon or a few smoked mullet you gotta go to Wally World.

So I think the folks are arousing from their slumber.

I dont suggest you do this, but my 3rd great-grand-daddy had his own solution to a variety of problems. He was a lawyer and appealed to your reason first, if that failed he verbally insulted you, if that failed to stir you he beat you with his riding crop, and if that failed he just shot you where you stood. He was a talented lawyer and shootist.

Pound the facts, pound the law, pound the table, pound your opponent.

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN but the overall number of unemployed increased.
Remember all the budget surplus numbers from the 90s? The Good Times were gonna roll till 2013. Then the internet bubble burst, followed by ENRON, followed by 911, followed by subprime mortgages. Economist dont have a clue what will happen next year or an hour from now.

Just stopping by to say hey, headed out for a haircut, have a good day.
 
But they have wonderful healthcare. :rolleyes:

Castro swaps their wonderful healthcare for cheap crap African nations cant peddle on the world market. He sends MDs to woebegone shitholes and brings back plastic shoes and cheap clothing and sundry junk. The average Cuban gets 2 aspirin and a sign-up sheet. CHECK BACK OFTEN!
