Times that try men's souls



Not an expert on quotations, and too lazy to look it up. May have been Thomas Paine. Anyway, I can relate to that quote. Hank Kimble side of me says, well, "maybe not".

It is a bit hard to keep on writing when you see so little from it. It doesn't do ME any good, and it might do me something that's not so good. Not to be complaining, mind you. It is hard to come up with stuff to post sometimes, and in those times I wonder "why bother"?

Perhaps it is just a passing thing. Today I did a bit of research into Texas politics. I don't usually do much of that here. At the moment, it might be key to a future outcome. But nobody seems much interested here in Texas, which is something of a disappointment. All the focus is on DC, which may be prudent considering how crazy it is getting there. But it threatens to get the same here too. People need to pay attention.

Nothing on the court case recently from either candidate for governor. There are more than just two GOP candidates, but for all intents and purpose there are two. The others have no name recognition. It's Col West v. Abbott. Abbott is the incumbent. It looks to me like tweeddly dee v tweedly dum. In that case, it will be Abbott v. Beto boy in the general. If Beto wins, Lord help us. But even if the GOP candidate wins, it is a hollow victory as usual. What a mess.

Col West's schedule has him in Crawford either soon or recently. What caught my eye was why go at all? Crawford is where Shrub lives, or did live. Libs like to call him Shrub. I call him that because the Bushes are cryto Democrats. West is supposed to offer a choice. What the hell is he doing going there?

We may be screwed. The time to file for the primaries is past. We got what we got, most likely, and it should have been better than this.
