It’s still a tired day here in the CatBox, even though I feel much better after some much needed rest.  I had an egg burrito for breakfast with apple juice and yogurt.  Today is also a Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  I’ll be on light-meditation, as my Broncos have a bye week.  Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal  Update.  It’s a morning WWWendy Day, complete with TomCat de-stinking and semi-gooping.  Have a fine Sunday.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Alternet<\/a>: <\/font>On Friday night, Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham debated his Democratic challenger Jamie Harrison virtually because Graham refused to submit to a COVID-19 test.<\/p>\n

As a result, both Graham and Harrison were separately asked debate questions. And on a question about whether he’d met with leaders of the Black Lives Matter Movement, Graham said in part, “I care about everybody. If you’re a young African-American, an immigrant, you can go anywhere in this state, you just need to be conservative, not liberal.” <\/p>\n

The context of Graham’s horrid sound bite was that anyone can have a safe and secure political career in the state regardless of skin color as long as they’re conservative. “You can be an African-American and go to the Senate, you just have to share the values of our state,” he said earlier in his response, but his aforementioned closing line seemed to make the Black female moderator stammer as she moved onto the next question. <\/p>\n

Like his Fuhrer, Lindsey Poo just loves those darkies, as long as they hold their porch lamps and call him, “Massa!”  RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font> <\/p>\n
