I suspect the executive order graph probably has some “devil in the details” part that is not supplied. See here now, Dear Glorious Leader has not been tyrannical at all (forget about the drone attack that killed the US citizen without a trial) but rather it is again you ignorant rubes who are tyrannical. Of course it is about averages, not actual issues.
Obama was a perfect candidate for post modern America: from every where but from no where, he is black/he is white, he talks big but is rather effeminate, an expert on every issue but has no experience in anything, connects with impoverished communities of color (this means black BTW) yet was raised liberal white.
Obama made the bankers WHOLE on their money following 2008 by the massive assumption of debt so his feet were made of clay after all.
First order of business IMO: bust the banks to pieces. Regulate the hell out of them and crush Wall Street speculation.

I should be the damn AD.
First move would be to open the gates 2 days early for tailgating.
Second move would be a state wide series of BBQ events with speeches and edicts.
Third move, declare full war on unc.
Forth move, buy some red pants and white shoes.

The number of Fathers feeling their child was scorned on the recruiting trail could reforest the Amazon.
I know, ’cause I’ve been guilty, too. Wound up as a Banyon tree, somewhere in Ceylon, though.
I was scorned once or twice.
The worst was when I walked into a beer joint in Windblow NC. Pushing my hurt feelings aside nothing kept me away from the pickled eggs and ice cold Budweiser.

I’ve never given them a dime, never will.
Occasionally I’ll send them a retort when they ask for money. Such retorts usually spare me another letter asking for money until the next fresh face attempts to cultivate “lost” alumni and then I get another letter which calls for another retort which assures no other letter until…….you get my point.
They just don’t know what the hell they are doing. They are even bad at being disingenuous, with clowns like the Raleigh cabal at play even bad used car salesmen appear to be Tony Robbins up close.
I’ve always thought the damn place should be wiped clean from the AD all the way down to the assholes running the botany labs who required us to HAND WRITE the lab practicals back to them prior to the lab.
F’em.
On to season 3.

I could use a little Wild Turkey myself.
Don’t care much for port, home or at a restaurant, it is the ultimate xx chromosome drink.

I’m just saying.. We were down 44-0 at halftime.. that’s not promising, regardless of who we are playing.
I guess Bluto was wrong, it was over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

All my Scottish folks were highlanders… that is to say… the earliest records readily available place them in the Piedmont, not the Coastal sections of North Carolina… before then, idk…. and then they could have fought with Mel Gibson in Braveheart or they could have been Catholic… what difference does it make?
All I knew were good, honest, farmers, merchants and working people, mostly Baptists in the last century.
On the other side … 100% English, that is …. Norman/French/English/Virgina/North Carolina with papers to prove it…
most of the men either kept a joker up their sleeve and bottle in their pocket, or both… and attended Church mainly for penance or political motives…
whatever, I don’t wear green on Patty’s day in March…
Most of those directly connected to the Highlanders came in two manners:
1) up the Cape Fear prior to the 2nd Jacobite Rebellion, most famous of this group is the Argyll Colony.
2) sold into indentured servitude following the 2nd Jacobite Rebellion. Many were sold into Virginia and Maryland then moved down once they had worked for 5-10 years.
The piedmont is VOID of Highlanders, most of that stock is Scots-Irish which came down the Yadkin Trail out of Pa and Md.
True Highland NC wraps the Cape Fear River, dead heads north of Candor NC. The counties would be southern Montgomery, Moore excluding Robbins (Triassic basin soils), Harnett, Lee, Scotland, edge of Richmond, Robeson, Brunswick, border counties in SC, Cumberland, Hoke, Bladen, southern Sampson, New Hanover. Gaelic was spoken by a very few in the early 1940s.
The essential book on this matter is Douglas Kelly’s Carolina Scots which was largely taken from the McLeod’s of Farm Life Gaelic Bible (200 plus years old)

^Don’t trust the Highland Scots of the Cape Fear River Valley. They’re disloyal.
If Douglas Kelly could ever remove himself from the old Blue plantation down near Carthage he’d either slap your face or shake your hand.
McCallum
A few things to note:
1) It is McCallum not Maccallum. The handle is Highland Scot, sand hill Presbyterian, reformed, strict and stern. Originally from Oban. That said I am not bothered by what you call me.
2) I have doubled down to see if State will pull a typical State and regression to the mean will be the rule.
Classic example, beat FSU and lose to Baylor.
3) ClemPson fans are near death today. They expected to win by 28-35 and have started to doubt if Jesus loves ClemPson.
