In reply to Ludington is to appear on CNN

the NYTimes has the New Haven report here, including images of the pages. It doesn't sound like there's much there as regards Kavanaugh. He was accused of throwing ice by another fight participant. It's truly the kind of college thing you would excuse about being in a young man's history. It was his friend Chris Dudley who was accused of throwing a glass causing an injury and Dudley denied it to the police. The report did not say whether anyone was arrested, and there is no indication that charges were filed.

Ludington is to appear on CNN tonight. There's a police report of the New Haven bar fight.

The Handmaiden. Oh, God, that

NCD, the perfect Huck quote. Thanks.

She ran some wild revivals.

She ran some wild revivals. Uncovered a book signed by McPherson, "Story of my life', only a couple of signed copies around. The grandmother of a friend of mine was pictured with McPherson in front of her Pasadena "church" . Great scandal when she disappeared for a week, possibly with a "man".

Thinking of the bible

Thinking of the bible salesman, Manley Pointer, in "Good Country People" who took advantage of the farmer's daughter. And to think a god fearing man who was trying to make a living would be accused of such an act.

Kavanaugh could have raped one of his hot judicial clerks at the hearing on live TeeVee and Republicans would blame it on a conspiracy funded by the Clintons, and say the fault is with the Demonrats who demanded the hearing, and the Republicans would confirm him anyway. Pundits would argue about how the roots of this was in the 60s, and say both sides are at fault.

Judge could have photos from the 82 thing and same result. Judge ain't no Huck, he ain't gonna tell the truth and go to entitled azzhole hell, Huck:

I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself:

“All right, then, I’ll go to hell”—

You're getting close with Benton, but he's still Midwest. We're into southern writing territory now, Wise Blood by Flannery O'Conner (not the movie) or Ballad of the Sad Cafe by Carson McCullers. Or the Misfit unironically calling judgment on the old lady:

“She would've been a good woman," said The Misfit, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.”

I get a Twain-like image from this, rather more like Steinbeck maybe. I'm seeing this big tent revival show with Aimee Sample McPherson, something Thos. Hart Benton would paint with all kinds of undulating bodies, maybe a snake handler. Or maybe just Father Coughlin on the radio.... If forced to use one word: DELUSIONAL:

John Rose, running for Diane Black's cong seat in TN, offers a prayer ahead of the Trump appearance. "We ask that you bless the Kavanaugh family," he says, to cheers.

On some sort of ethical scale

In reply to When I thought about my drunk

On some sort of ethical scale were one ranks one's values almost every one of my values has a higher priority than loyalty to a friend. For example upon discovering a friend is a misogynist or racist I'll discard the friend quickly and easily rather than tolerate the misogyny or racism. But then, I'm so comfortable being alone.
