Often these speeches are given to an empty chamber. I was so pleased to see that was not the case here and that Senator Warnock got a rousing ovation at the conclusion.

I wish there were thought police, so they could arrest Chip Roy for driving without a license.

Disqus fucks things up and normally I just leave it.

But my last non comment treated the difference of two very different Raphaels with bad poetry and disqus substituted that for my earlier post which invoked my pagan deity to strengthen a Christian pastor / senator.

So fuck it. Here is the one with the pagan deity ...again.

"I do hope Rev. Warnock practices true christian humility and has a sense of modesty.

Because every fucking money grubbing ad agency in the WORLD is going to be tempting him with $$$$$$$ to endorse their clients junk after that speech.

May Crom give him strength to resist temptation!"

The oratory style was preacherly but it wasn't a sermon.

Words are so powerful when wielded by a master. It's sad that 50 people in that room aren't interested in living in the better country he imagines.

Can't help, but I just made my kids listen to one of my favorite recent ones. (Though one could argue about whether the source material is high brow.)

The CIA or some other intelligence agency will know, and probably have that place stuffed with more bugs than a common Trump Doral bedroom before they can move in.
