That Debate Brought This to Mind

Uncle Jep once told me, “I voted in ever’ election sence William Jennings Bryan, God rest his soul, stood agin President McKinley in nineteen-ought-ought, ‘n I’m proud to say that never but once’t did I mark fer the fella what won. I allus think a fella dumb enough to want ta be president hain’t smart ‘nuf ta do the job.  But then, you know we responsible ta pick the lesser a two weevils, so ta speak.”

(--or in this cycle, from amongst weevils weasels galore.)

It's been a long time since I voted FOR someone - how sad is that. Except in local elections, usually a clear choice there, not the usual lesser of two weevils.

Grace, exactly; how sad it is that one goes to the polls to vote against someone rather than for someone.

Once again the wisdom of Uncle Jep comes brilliantly shining through.

A ray of sanity glimmers yet in our crazy world.
