Jupiter and Saturn have passed alignment but the stars in the heavens may or may not align Georgia republicans Purdue and Loeffler.
Will the solar system survive the election of two more Dems to the senate? The galaxy? The universe? Humanity and huwomanity? BBQ grilling? Gas lawnmowers? Sweet tea?
Hundreds of millions of dollars are flooding into my fair state, Georgia, on both sides of the race for the two senate positions. I estimate that before it’s over, and the election is nine days off, hundreds of dollars will be spent just on yours truly, a Georgia citizen and voter. This mail costs big bucks.
I have received 45 pieces of mail to date not counting political mail my wife throws away if she gets to it first. The pieces are all anti-democrat and pro-republican. I’m targeted, brethren, but I’m hunkered down for the duration.
Here are some interesting ones:
Dear William, I prayed for you today, that you will vote to uphold God’s truth on 1/5/21. Blessings, Tommy _____”
This was a hand-written postcard. Shameless appeal to the religious voter. God presumed to be a Republican. Maybe Baptist minister and pastor, Rafael Warnock, the Democrat candidate would be insulted. He’s already admitted to eating pizza with a fork. Probably drinks Pepsi, not Coca Cola.
You worked hard for your MediCare benefits. Radical Jon Ossoff supports cutting them.
Georgia gun owner’s can’t afford it.
The radical dems are coming for my guns.
Home Alone 2021, Locked down in Georgia
Blatant appeal to, I dunno, dumb kids and parents. I hated that movie.
Raphael Warnock & Jon Ossoff’s agenda isn’t just anti-military…it’s anti American.
Public records of who votes in the January 5th election are being studied by university professors.
So? I’m at risk as a data point for some pointy-headed lib prof?
Be aware! Researchers are studying turnout in your neighborhood.
Most of your neighbors have already voted!
Make your list and check it twice!
Santa, the Republican, I suppose.
My favorite: Here’s a WHOPPER: Democrats will BAN hamburgers.
I don’t like Whoppers, a revolting, disgusting concoction of greasy beef and other stuff. I’ll go with greasy Chick-fil-A, thank you. I like a Hardee’s burg occasionally. But, you can have my hamburgers when you pry my cold dead, arterially sclerotic hands off of them. Come after the McRib and I’ll never forgive the Dems.
Blank check to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Just fill in your family budget.
Picture of Warnock, Ossoff, Chuck and AOC in baseball uniforms with the red stars of the China flag. Sweet.
Well, nothing is off limits. There may yet be buttons to push, maybe the Dems will come after your choice of mayonnaise (I like Hellmann’s) or get into the sage or no sage controversy on cornbread dressing (I’m ambivalent) or take a gratuitous shot at the hapless Atlanta Falcons (it can’t get worse).
Nine days to do.
I already voted. Lay off my mailbox.

And baseball hall of famer, knuckleball pitcher Phil Niekro died today. I’m rather sad. He won twenty or more games three times. Lost twenty in a season, twice. Only Cy Young and one Pud Galvin (whose last MLB season was 1892) pitched more innings than Niekro. Kids like me goofed off throwing knuckleballs on the sidelines because of Niekro. RIP.
Home Alone 2 is the best movie in that series. I’m guessing you were rooting for the burglars in the original. The Whopper should not be insulted like that as it is a good burger. Chick-Fil-A’s are awesome, the McRib is good, and Hardee’s burgers are okay. However the best fast food burgers are at Braum’s (found in the tornado alley area of America), Back Yard Burger (found in scattered parts of the south and lower Midwest), and Culver’s (expanding but the home base is the Great Lakes region). I haven’t ever had the opportunity for an In-n-Out Burger but… Read more »
I have to agree with William on the Whopper. I like a well dressed burger, but the Whopper is a clumsy sloppy mess. We have a relatively new 5-Guys up here and they do a pretty good burger. DQ makes a good burger.
Went into a Five Guys ordered a junior burger, small fries, small drink. The total was over $14. “Cancel the order,” I said, and walked out. Ridiculous, even for a good burger.
Meanwhile, the Democrat negative campaign seems to be running largely via TV commercials. Seems like everytime there’s a commercial break, i get inundated with all the reasons that voting Republican will supposedly usher in the apocalypse.
It makes one *really* long for the None Of The Above vote, whereby we can say : “We don’t want *either* of these jerks. Kick them out and give us another set to choose from”.
I heartily agree. When you consider the choices we’ve had at the top of the ticket for the last two elections at least, it makes you wonder if the apocalypse hasn’t already started.
You want people to lay off you mailbox, but you write an op-ed… That’s like in the movie ELF where Peter Dinklage dares Buddy, “Call me ELF One More Time..”
You have permission to assault my mailbox with stimulus money.
I got a peek into one of the campaign organizations methods for this run off. I was surprised at how sophisticated they were in identifying their voters and the other party’s voters. There are lists of “reluctant progressive’ voters who get special attention. There is even a list of reluctant evangelicals who are prayed for by name by volunteers. It’s all a bit much for me. I have not gotten one piece of direct mail or text that is from the other side. It’s like I am in an election with only one side campaigning. Voters who vote differently than… Read more »
Got another handwritten postcard from a stranger today. “I prayed for you….” to vote God’s way, etc etc
Praying for people did not give me a problem. I think the notes are over the line.
I got my first prayer card from a stranger today.
The Niekro brothers were both good pitchers, but Phil was the best, I think.
If my memory serves me correctly Phil was famous for the “knuckle ball” pitch.
I like how people are spinning the Ga. runoffs as a “referendum” on Trump, as if the last presidential election wasn’t enough of a referendum.
