I'm a lonesome believer in Democracy in the GA14 wasteland! Beautiful wife, 7 kids, 3 dogs and a love of ultra distance triathlons (over 140.6 miles). Semi retired follower of Jesus and wanting to make a difference in this community.
I think even Reznor likes Johnny's version!
As I wake to the 81st day of the Fall of the American Empire, the question I contemplate:

Which version of "Hurt" is more appropriate as a soundtrack to the decline? The Johnny Cash cover, or the Nine Inch Nails original? 🤔

The day before its official release, I was in the record store on the Georgia Tech campus at the time. I asked the clerk what was in the case behind the counter. He let me get the album and took my money for the sale the next day!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Red states, this will hurt you more than blue states. Downsizing and cuts usually apply to economically unfeasible locations, like rural communities, not urban areas.

Yes, you voted for this, it was inside Project 2025.

Nothing changes until we get money out of politics, especially elections. Citizen's United needs to be reversed or at least neutralized.

There's 3 seconds left on the clock. You're down by one point. Who do you give the basketball to?

Lebron James? Steph Curry?

Nope. You put it in the hands of 8th Grader Cooper Thorson.

He just hit the shot of a lifetime.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
