Sitting here watching Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band on PBS and thinking. As bad as times may be, as dark as the storm may be, we as a species and as a nation have known worse. We’ve survived countless natural disasters, we’ve survived the charnel house of war, we survived thousands of years enslaving each other. We will survive this presidency, we will survive this hurricane season, we will survive the standoffs with Iran and North Korea, we’ll even survive another Cynthia McKinney term if such a disaster comes about.
And now I’m watching the Democratic gubernatorial debate for Georgia and cringing. The only one that has said anything I can support is Mac McCarley, a World War II veteran who doesn’t have any real chance, but who at least sounds like he’s saying what he thinks instead of what he’s been told to say.
