Goodbye to all that...

 

I remember autumn. Hope it comes again.

Halloween decorations look forlorn in 90 degree heat.

I remember when October meant changing seasons, not climate change.

I remember when the United States Senate called itself the "World's Greatest Deliberative Body." Now, the institution once known for great orators and legislators rushes to put a sniveling, beer-guzzling, misogynistic liar on the Supreme Court.

I remember when men valued holding their liquor. Now, the standard is drinking until puking?

The Senate once valued truth and honesty. Now, the lies have it.

Mississippi men in the past honored women. Now, they snigger as a Northern grifter insults a woman's honor.

These days, it's the home of the brazen, the land of the fraud.
