Maybe they are all ignorant
A phone call the other night with someone telling me that everyone in the South is a fucking idiot. I said I think there are idiots all over, not just here. There are more here, he said.
Looking at the headlines this morning with William Jefferson winning over Karen Carter, I feel inclined to think that maybe he is right, because only a bunch of idiots would have put that man in office.
Nagin, now Jefferson. It’s like we’re in Wonderland and things are backasswards and nobody seems outraged or for that matter moved. I had people I know, smart people, vote for Nagin. I’m sure there were some smart people who voted for Jefferson. It is just hard to believe, is all I’m trying to say. Really hard to believe.
