“THAT’S NOT WHO WE ARE”

Lest we forget, this is a flashback to January 20, 2021. Every person who gets interviewed on television says the same thing. It's the current mantra about "the U.S.A."

MAKING SENSE OF THE SENSELESS

We are forever asking ourselves and each how can "those people" behave the way they behave? How can they believe some of the insane stuff they seem to believe?

LIES, MORE LIES, AND MISINFORMATION

BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE

And A Bumpy Road It Was, by Rich Paschall The memories live on. It's not like they were yesterday, but they are still pretty clear.

OLD SCRATCH

FOWC with Fandango — Scratch Old Scratch is the devil. Ask anyone down down here by the river. We know him when we see him. We don't talk about him much. The less said about that old devil, the better. That's what I think, anyhow. "Old Scratch has got his own at last, hey?" Arthur Rackham … Continue reading OLD SCRATCH
