Fun and Games



"Greatest of all time" has a very narrow definition there, in keeping with Giuliani's idea of "justice." And not surprisingly, Mike Huckabee wants his 15 minutes of fame back.

Of course, Huckabee's definition of "Christian" is not mine.  He wouldn't include me, and I struggle to include him (my faith tells me to do otherwise; his tells him to keep on keepin' on).  He's on FoxNews here which, whatever the ratings say, still doesn't command the airwaves of America.  Those who do listen religiously (!) aren't going to listen to Biden anyway.  They are on the back side of history.  And this feeble attempt to call Kamala Harris the next Thomas Jefferson (he was accused of wanting to burn Bibles when he ran for the Presidency) is as pathetic as Trump calling her "nasty" or some idiot in the pages of Newsweek questioning her birthright citizenship.  That game has been played and covid-19 has changed the table.  This very night, figuratively if not literally, their lives are demanded of them, and what good is the power they think they accumulated?  Even now that power is moving to another river bed, is flowing down a new course.  Such is the nature of power.  Had Huckabee been wise, or even more religious, he might have understood the power of powerlessness.

As it is, power is done with him, and he has been discarded.
