I am delighted that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are now in office.

Here is a brilliant poem from a 22-year-old Black woman from West LA.

You won’t be hearing from me for a while.

Best Regards

      We’ll all miss the legal threats and profanity, won’t we?

    I had missed that and my wife said it was stunning. Indeed, quite a talent. Thanks for sharing the link.

    But she breaks a rule giving a better speech than the guest of honor. 🙂 Those are the quotes that will live on. Even Frost didn’t read something new.

      Wasn’t that because Frost couldn’t read his speech from the glare?

    So long Mr. Peter. I must say I am going to miss you. Be good. Santa is watching!

    Impressive young woman. She represents that which is best in the Democratic Party.

      Is she a Democrat? How could you tell?

        Probably because there are no Republicans in West LA? (Unless their GPS glitched out and took them the wrong way)

      Or actually any party, perhaps…

    Peter,
    The speech, if sincere, is hopeful and impressive. Your departure for a time is disappointing in some respects. However, your parting comments to those who disagree with you in this forum are as graceless as your condescension toward others here who treated you with respect in their dissent from your diatribes. Your contrarian insights will be missed. Your disdainful manner and vitriol will not. Enjoy your lonely perch on Mount Olympus.

    I’m not sure why you’re leaving. Hopefully, it will be temporary. I’ve always said that one of the strengths of BaconsRebellion was the diversity of opinion. Your opinions will be missed.

    Did anyone else get a direct email from a certain poster tell them to fornicate with themselves for a benign comment about a poet from 1960?

    Sure seems odd when said poster was complaining about vulgarity.

    It is enlightening to have a President who has only used the appropriate amount of N bombs and racist terms in public, only commited the appropriate amount of sexual assaults, only commited the appropriate amount of backroom dealings with foreign entities, only eulogized the appropriate number of klansmen, and has only threatened citizens with the appropriate amount of violence.
    My how standards have changed.

    But, apparently, Harris’ anti-Catholic bigoty is OK with Peter.

    Best of luck with what you take on next.
