While Abrams has decided to duck the electorate, Brian Kemp will continue to travel the state on his Putting Georgians First Bus Tour. He’s proud of his record and confident that his plans for our state will keep Georgia working!” ~ Brian Kemp thinks we are stupid. Even if the Governor had the ability to do so, they are not going to raise taxes $13k per person. The Governor does not have the ability to give voting rights to people who are not citizens of the United States. As for the government takeover of healthcare, that is a federal matter. Barack Obama, with a Democratic majority in both houses of congress, could only pass the flawed and limited ACA. To say that a Governor of Georgia could do more is insane ~ Voters, You’re Being Manipulated Always accuse *the other* of doing what you are also doing.

The 17 Kinds of Hyphens You Must… Wait, Seriously, 17? ~ voter purge list ~ Why “I’m not racist” is only half the story ~ I just came across this video and it seemed germane to this convo I listened to this monologue. I am not impressed. This monologue is challenged in its use of logic. I do not feel that it speaks to my experience. Let’s take a look at the first sentence of the notes. “If you’re not racist, why is racism still America’s biggest problem?” There is an assumption here: that racism is still America’s greatest problem. Looming environmental catastrophe, political corruption, unsustainable national debt, usustainable food supply chain… these, and a host of other problems, are arguably far more damaging than racism. Then there is the either/or dilemma… “If you’re not racist, why is…” Who is the lady speaking to? Who is the person who does not consider themself to be racist, and is thus responsible for racism being “America’s greatest problem.” After a while, I am going to put this video behind me, like I have so, so much talk about racism. On a lighter note, Mani Sheriar has a very powerful story on RISK. It addresses many of these issues, and is a good counterpoint to this story. ~ Why “I’m not racist” is only half the story | Robin DiAngelo ~ 3 chicago poets ~ Toddler, straight-A student fatally shot in separate incidents during bloody weekend in Chicago ~ The Mystery of Tariki ~ Gay Atlanta activist, pioneer Berl Boykin dies at 74 ~ An Interview with Atlanta Gay Rights Pioneer Berl Boykin ~ Vic Mensa Calls Out XXXTentacion Supporters, Rap’s Embrace Of Abusers ~ Sam Harris July 01, 2017 – Common Sense with Dan Carlin Show #293 ~ Amanda Seales Questions White Women Kneeling to Protest Rape Culture ~ Grateful Dead – The Acid Test Reels 1965-1967 ~ Squirrel vs snake ~ I Take Medication For Depression, Hair Loss, And Erectile Dysfunction, And There’s Nothing Shameful About That ~ Voting rights become a flashpoint in Georgia governor’s race ~ What happened to Jamal Khashoggi?

If you do choose to live in this mythical AH, will you want to be around your neighbors? ~ I just received another phone call from Lucy McBath. It pretended to be a survey, but was, in fact, a paid political message from Lucy McBath. ~ PLEASE VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 2 in Georgia. It is a horrible proposal. It seeks to establish “business” courts with appointed, not elected, judges, and is designed to protect corporations from being sued by people they have injured. It is being pushed by Georgians for Lawsuit Reform, which is little more than a front for big business. Please forward this post. Most voters are unfamiliar with proposed constitutional amendments, and most, like this one, are worded in ways that hide their true intentions PLEASE FORWARD THIS.! ~ “Kemp’s office blamed that disparity on the New Georgia Project, a voter registration group founded by Abrams in 2013. Kemp accuses the organization of being sloppy in registering voters, and says they submitted inadequate forms for a batch of applicants that was predominantly black. His office has said the New Georgia Project used primarily paper forms and “did not adequately train canvassers to ensure legible, complete forms ….” Yes, that may be more bs from Mr. Kemp. It may also be the truth. It is entirely possible that the New Georgia Project submitted a bunch of registration forms with serious mistakes. We are getting to the point in this election where everything you hear is suspect. ~I got there a half hour early. I sat outside for 45 minutes, waiting for “someone to be with you” I only had to check out one wardrobe item. I took a bus from the base camp… an old warehouse on white street in west end, in front of the beltline … to the set. It was the West Hunter Street Baptist, formerly pastored by Ralph David Abernathy Sr. We were led into a room on the second floor. We sat in that room for four hours. There was a fan in that room, that was turned off during takes. Turning the fan off and on was the only thing to do for four hours. We went back to base camp for a fabulous lunch. We then went back to the church. After a while, our handler came to the room, and got a few of us to go to a site. We went to a side street off Lee Street, across from the west end marta station. We were set up as homeless people, while a car drove by. I was given a homeless person buggy, and told to walk by showing tremendous effort to walk by. However, I was not to be used in the first shot. They did a few takes of the car going down the street. The crew moved across the street. A decision was made not to use any background performers in the next shot. I was taken back to base camp, turned in my wardrobe shirt, my invoice was signed, and I went home. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

You didn’t kneel in solidarity to protest the murder of Black people, don’t co opt & make it about your victimization. That’s white supremacy in the name of feminism. ~ @TalbertSwan That’s exactly what it is. To change the meaning of #TakeAKnee from a movement led by Black men to protest injustice against black people to a liberal white woman led protest against rape culture is hijacking. It’s offensive & epitomizes white supremacy. ~ A fire service in the region dubbed the ‘obesity capital of Britain’ has been called out 50 times to help winch severely overweight people out of their homes and into ambulances. ~ This is a substantial work. I look forward to seeing a live performance of this. As a male, there are some mixed feelings about the content. A poem should inspire more than one emotion. One criticism I have of this video is the church steeple on the left side of the screen. That was a distraction. The phallic symbolism of the steeple is ironic. The rest of the staging is good, particularly the lighting of the two poets. ~ I recently sent a link to the Paul Gilmartin story to a friend. He is in the AA program, and I thought he would enjoy the atory. Here is the email I sent with that link. This is a link to a story. It is an AA war story. It starts at 20 minutes. There is another story here. The first story in this show is about an Indian lady, who does not like her Jewish mother in law. At ten minutes into the show, the bride says “I am going to have to spend the day with a racist.” At this point, I turned off the show in anger. I am sensitive to the term racist, for perfectly obvious reasons. I did not want to listen to the rest of the show. When I decided to send you the link, I had to listen to the part of the show around the 20 minute mark, so I could know when the war story started. I set the timer for 18 minutes, and listened to the end of the mother in law story. There is a twist in the story, and everyone is friends now. The bride says “I am ashamed of reducing her to her racism.” ~ It is frequently speculated that the homophobe is secretly gay. The need to be heard badmouthing gays stems from a perceived need to prove heterosexuality. Could this be the case with the anti racist? Maybe the anti-racist is secretly afraid that they might be a racist. The “calling out” of others, for perceived racism, is an effort to overcompensate for their own shortcomings. ~ What is going on? I was just in the greenspace. A swatch of land, on the north side of the space, just below the parking lot, has been clear cut. The woods to the south of the parking lot have been thinned out.

What is going on? ~ If you like the links at the drudge report, you should go to my blog on monday morning. I keep a document on my desktop. Whenever I go to anywhere, I make a copy of the url. It is a handy habit, for a number of reasons. On monday every week, I publish the notes from the previous week. The pictures this week are from the farm security administration. The government hired a bunch of photographers during the depression to document the conditions. All these photographs are in the public domain.

Needless to say, the death penalty is too mild for this infraction. When advertising this post on facebook, @georgiapol_com posted a historic picture. This picture included the same word, whose use was hysterically denounced in the post. ~ .@LaDawnLBJJones just posted 1600 fire breathing words about an Emory law professor who used the magic word in a lecture.

I am tired of the kneeler controversy. Both sides are right. Police should not kill unarmed black people. The flag, and the national anthem should be respected. Just because you intend a gesture to mean something does not mean people are not going to be offended for different reasons. But above all, I am tired of Nike. The controversy was quieting down, when Nike fired it up again. Nike is making an existing conflict worse to sell shoes. ~ zoe tillman ~ Don’t fall for the hoax: Facebook isn’t restricting your News Feed to 25 friends ~ @TheKert She has made a statement confirming it’s him.

It said it would take five minutes, but lasted nine minutes. Chris, the robovoice of 2020 Insight, said that it would be a survey. You were asked to respond to a series of statements about the candidates for District 81 in the Georgia House, Scott Holcomb and Ellen Diehl. All of the statements were complimentary towards Rep. Holcomb, and derogatory towards Ms. Diehl. One of these statements said that Ellen Diehl has a life sized cardboard cutout of Donald Trump in her home. Whether this is, or is not true, has no impact on her ability to represent the 81st district in the GA House of Representatives. It is a sad moment when a politician insults an opponent by saying she supports the President of the United States. ~ This publication is made possible, in part, by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant ~ Neal and Bob were walking one day. They saw a dog licking his balls. Neal said, “I wish I could do that” Bob replied “Maybe you should pet him first” ~ A better way of phrasing that would be to observe that sometimes African Americans DON’T use the magic word. The language choices of African Americans give me neither permission, or desire, to use the magic word. ~ @Suburban_Dic Cunnilingus – Dinosaur noted for its short arms and long tongue ~ Of course I am a sinner. Is photoshop mischief a sin? I differ with you about the details. IMO, the death/reputed resurrection of Jesus has nothing to do with what happens to my post mortem soul. ~ The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as McCain–Feingold Act, requires candidates for federal offices to have a disclaimer in their advertising. It is now boilerplate… I am Joe Blow, and I approved this message. Question: Is there any requirement like this for state and local races? Are the so-called surveys from 2020 Insight, which are really advertising for one candidate, legal? ~ The least radical thing you can do is speak in all caps ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ here is the poem from last night at java monkey:

I am also concerned that anything she says to fire up her own base will have the effect of alienating Republicans. Barack Obama was able to walk this tightrope and get elected. It remains to be seen if Miss Abrams can. ~ @SlavojTweezek So after the recent allegations that Trump used the N word on multiple occasions, do you regret saying you would have voted for him?
