WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT
“What about Hillary?”
“What about Obama?”
“What about Black Lives Matter” [et cetera, et alia]?
If these people and organizations are truly the nefarious bogeymen that you claim them to be, then why should they set the standards for your own behavior?
Okay … let me put it in simpler terms:
If Hillary does something wrong, it’s okay for your guy to do it? I thought you were AGAINST Hillary. Did I misunderstand you?

Thanks once again to Managing Editor Roger Watson for allowing me to share my thoughts through this outstanding regional newspaper for Southwest Virginia.

Throwback Thursday: Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” (1975)
Believe it or not, I can remember Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” from its heyday — maybe not 1975, when it was released by Capitol Records, but definitely from the ensuing few years when it so often played on the radio. (It got lots of airtime, as it was a hit with both mainstream and country audiences.) This song will always remind me of my very early childhood.
It’s a catchy tune, really. But it is a bit of an earworm. Hum it at your won risk.
