I’ve shared a pic or two of my postit notes stuck on my attic walls of ideas for things to write before. I jot things down on church bulletins during sermons and send them to myself in email so as not to forget. Here is one very small portion of the wall:
Here are some emails I sent myself over the last few days:
Leona Helmslie and her jail time when the rich were expected to pay their taxes
Trump doesn’t deserve you – in relation to all his worshipers that he would drain like a vampire if necessary
This story from Mississippi: https://www.npr.org/2024/01/12/1224449631/mississippi-jail-graves-investigation Mississippi…..first in dead ex cons
You can’t tell me what to do – the new simpleminded Republican mind set and how my Mom painted five year old me for a story I wrote:
If the Lost Cause lovers of the south thought they could assassinate Lincoln again by taking charge of the GOP but they will still have to put up with sticklers like me. They started their take over by blaming everything on the Democratic party they bailed out of…
What Trump said about slavery (In which the master of disunion and chaos opines that he could have patched America together better than Lincoln did) “Trump also mentioned slavery while discussing the Civil War this month, but only in passing. Instead, he focused his commentary on what he described as Abraham Lincoln’s failure to avert the war through negotiation.
“The Civil War was so fascinating. So horrible. It was so horrible but so fascinating. … I’m so attracted to seeing it,” he said in Iowa on Jan. 6. “So many mistakes were made. See, there was something I think could’ve been negotiated. I think you could’ve negotiated that.””
And thinking about what I might incorporate into a book for a Congressional campaign here is a picture I took comparing my roughly 340 columns for the Reader with James Herndon’s Lincoln.
