Folk Logic

"Too big for one's britches" -- I love this bit of folk logic ... describing someone whose ego is so large that it is making the decisions. This Roy Moore imbroglio has exposed hundreds with this puffed-up malady... John McCain, Mitch McConnell, the Washington Post, the RNC, Mitt Romney and most of the stage prancers in Washington. The only rational voice in all this cacophony of phonies is Pat Buchanan who says, "Let the people of Alabama decide."

This is a sensible solution to a nonsensical situation. When there is a he-said, she-said stand-off, I don't believe that it should be resolved by the hysterical national media ... particularly a media so obviously biased. The people of Alabama know Judge Roy Moore and, if they want him as their senator, then the rest of the swamp should shut up and say, "So be it."

The Harvey Weinstein revelations have unleashed a firestorm of copycat accusations ... most, likely true, but some opportunistic. Human nature being what it is, sex is always the imp hiding in many garden parties. This imp can be malignant as in the Harvey Weinstein case ... or just coquettish ... which is to suggest that this imp is not always male.

I have no idea where on the spectrum of sexual by-play Roy Moore's actions fell all those many decades ago ... nor, truthfully, does the Washington Post nor Mitch McConnell ... nor certainly  Sean Hannity's advertisers. So why not let the people of Alabama ... the ones who know him best ... decide if Judge Moore is too big for his britches?
