We had a fine meeting at the Atlanta PN club today. Out of the clear blue, a preacher has emerged who specializes in comparing Constitutional and Biblical law. Unfortunately I had to leave just as he was tuning up after the break, partly because I went on too long in my own talk.
It was my first visit to Atlanta PN in a year or three, and I (per present habit) ran down my list of ultra-select news sites of choice -- the PN's, blacklistednews.com, NuttyNewsToday etc. One I've got to add to the chart is the Political Cesspool, a phenomenally successful AM radio program that offers totally, yes totally uncensored political reality on the air and online.
Typically, the Cesspool's host James Edwards has found and featured a rare gem among Pat Buchanan's writings. Buchanan inexplicably ranges from hopeless neocon to consummate columnist on the subjects that really, REALLY matter most, so it is a joy to see him undertaking to summarize the South, its true meaning in history, and the nature of the psychosis that causes people to hate this magnificent region.
Tell 'em, James:
Pat Buchanan says hatred of the South is hatred of America

I don't own a TV on principle, but watch it for sociological purposes when visiting friends. Confess I've become hooked on a nonfiction show that is uncommonly worthwhile and unpolluted, despite its punning name -- Pawn Stars.
People bring their heirlooms in, experts evaluate them, the owners negotiate with the store on value, etc. The main host, Rick Harrison, is very streetwise as you'd have to be in Las Vegas, but is fair and polite with those wanting to deal. His father is a hilarious old fatalist and two other screamingly jaundiced staffers star as well.
Just for fun just now, I tried searchng the show in Youtube, and caught.something exciting in a David Letterman interview with Rick. DL asks RH why people have their treasures vetted at his pawnshop instead of Sotheby's or some more renowned venue. With typical candor RH blurts out ""Because we have cash." I had been wondering at their routine use of actual greenbacks over the counter in each episode.
What do you think happens next? The audience ecstatically applauds his reply!
Does that amaze you at all? Why else could it be except that even the fantasy-land, loony-left types that have forever peopled "mainstream" TV included talk shows hosted by liberal worldlings like David Letterman?
But that's the other astonishing thing here. Previously when haply experiencing even seconds of Letterman's show, I've been baffled that anybody finds it at all amusing when it makes absolutely no sense to me.... and I've gagged that audiences in fact go wild over DL's every statement, guffaw and twitch no matter how empty and banal. Have you?
This time for some strange reason, the silly jokey goof acted like a grown-up well-adjusted man and did the kind of interview they all be doing should all the time. My perception that this is unheard of with Letterman seems confirmed by a comment added under the video in question:

So the heck what? Only that it strikes me as yet another random, unintentional indication that truth is busting out all over.
