I Went to a Party in the County Jail
I had this vision of a man who was drunk and started to sing. He attended a party in a jail, but the jail was not a jail. He was singing a song made famous by Elvis, whose last name is not needed. As people know well, the lyrics were that the warden threw a …
To Put the State Much in the Place of the Former Master
The lie continues to win since the November 2024 election. That is actually a quote from the era of 1863-1867. Poor whites, sometimes, were given funds raised by Freedmen. There were lots of quotes in the book and governors knew what was going on as any attempt to provide the freedmen with minimum wage was …

Carter and Trump Failures Over Israel
Provoked by a reader in Florida who told me she is on “pins and needles” waiting for what I would write, had not even thought about writing about Carter. His death at 100 years of age almost seems biblical as I approach my eightieth-year next month. Then I called a long-time reader of mine, a …
