Watch him every day. He has his diagnostic finger on Tennessee's "pulse" but also nationally. You know....there's probably nothing DUMBER than a Dumb Southern Man, but also few smarter than an intelligent, considered well-spoken Southerner. (I give you Jimmy Carter, nuclear scientist, president and life-long humanitarian!) TB's one'a dem!

And this is off-topic, but I've wondered if the pen-and-ink portrait behind your right shoulder (on our left) is of Carter or John Prine. Either is well-qualified to hang in my humble Southern home!

Make up yer minds, people! Is ours to be a dictatorship or a democracy?!?!? (impure tho it may be....) I kinda LIKE havin' a "say" in the affairs of the country in which I reside (and for which I've served) ....but that may just be me....apparently many (apparently? Even obviously) MANY don't object to proceeding down the other (very dissimmilar) path. But we'll see.....I know this playbook didn't exactly work out for the better for WW2 Germany............although really, people, ain't it a shame our dear leader can't even grow a decent mustasch? (and probably can't raise his heavilly-laden arms high enough to present a proper Nazi salute... ) No! I ask you; isn't this the REAL "issue" here?
