    Did you D_B yourself in the matter of minutes?

    Anyway, IIRC from one Ken Burns documentary or the other...back in the days of the Great Depression, entire families would relocate to where jobs and a better life were located. I believe (I could be wrong, mind you) that those migrants were considered brave and were lauded for their grit. Why can't history repeat itself? If you live in a red state pack up and get the fuck out!

    I agree. But I also think this stuff is incredibly tough to confirm - which is unfair to the accused. Now if e-mails or other docs surface from back in the day that Biden's camp was actually concerned about this in the weeks after it happened? I'd be more inclined to give more weight to the accusations.

    Did you ever see Grapes of Wrath? That's totally not what happened. "Okies" was an epithet in California until the '60s.

    People have been migrating from the Rust Belt to the South for years.

    Yeah I was being a bit blue (orange?) font-y but still, those people did move to find a better life. Americans today are soft.

    There is a case to be made that George Carrier was the most influential American of the 20th century. He's sure in the top 10.

    You don't see wildcat strikes often in the "right to work" South. Blue flu or teacher's strike would be the exceptions. I can't think of many in this part of the country.

    LOL. Probably. I usually kill the frame when I post one, and this one was still up. I'm like "I thought I posted that. Oh well."

    There were swamp coolers before there were air conditioners.

    Got to love a good muckraking Capitol reporter. Josh got run off of the Montgomery paper's political beat because he was a little too good at his job and made some powerful people annoyed.

    Does a president deserve reelection when his deliberate inaction led to a U.S. death toll the equivalent of the Vietnam War in just eight weeks?
