“Democrats face this terrible arithmetic
in the Electoral College where if they don’t carry any of the 11 Southern states [of the Old
Confederacy] they need to win 70% of everything else,” says Merle Black, an expert on Southern
politics at Emory University.
BLESSED BE THE TRUE
BELIEVERS
A positive approach is needed
In these days of infamy;
Why not ask the Southern
states
To re-form the Confederacy?
The folks of fervid faith can
chant,
“Holy, holy, hola!
O Lord, send us a worthy Son,
A Dixie
Ayatollah.”
And in response to this item earlier today, our Calvin Trillin writes:
THE HAVES AND THE HAVE-FEARS
The theocrats have Bush
And the plutocrats have Cheney;
And what do the rest of
us have?
A country going down the drainy.
