SO, HOW DO *YOU* EXPLAIN ALVIN GREENE'S NOMINATION? -- Just A Minute Radio for Friday 100621

Yep, No doubt about it … IT’S FRIDAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaayaaaa!

I really don’t know why we make such a fuss about it – Fridays come every week… just like …well… just like clockwork.

Have you ever looked into how they used to keep time… back in the ‘olden days’ – things like candles that burned down an inch an hour – or some approximation of that… Water dripping from little cups and dumping out into larger containers…

Then of course there was Galileo – and when I went to look up his last name – I find he is best known by his first name Galileo --- so how’s that going to look in the phone book? He taught us how to tell time… accurately!

Also I’ve somehow in the rush of things around here… managed to bollix up my e-mail addresses… which I’ll have to untangle at a later date. So… If I’m slow getting back to you… it’s just an old geezer fumbling around in the belly of the beast… the computer – trying to straighten things out.

We ought to have a lot of fun with what’s happening with the nomination for whoever is going to run for one of the Senate seats in South Carolina – since it caught a lot of Democrats… (Republicans too for that matter.) totally off base.

We used to be coached in baseball… when you’re on base and trying to steal second or third… you only get off the bag by “two steps and a slide.” – I hadn’t thought about that until Barbara and I went to a ‘live’ baseball game… minor league of course… but a nice newly built stadium we’ve been too before… and I got a sunburn inadvertently even though I was sitting in the “sombre” section… which is supposed to mean shadow… and I thought it was shadowed enough that I wouldn’t need sunscreen… I was wrong. So… I’m a rosy pink for a few more days. I don’t think I got enough to blister… but apparently I’m a class 1 sunburn case… most folks are class 2 and the really bronzy ones are class three… that’s something else I picked up over this week.

Well.. have a happy day at the beach… and stay in the shade or well sunscreened… take it from an “old master.”

Stay tuned for the latest on how we pick our senators and presidents and well drillers. I believe it’s time to write some new chapters in the “Conduct of Proper Procedures” tomes … (Had to look that one up… I did NOT mean graveyard.)

See you next week.

Cordially, IN HIM,

Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”

SO, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN ALVIN GREENE’S NOMINATION?

Just a Minute: -- Let’s have your theory on how Alvin Greene won Democrat senate slot? Here’s the Washington Post’s best guess:

In a Columbia barber shop, as Glenn Johnson cuts a customer’s hair, he just says: “Don’t know th’ cat”

The mystery of how Greene with no, money, no staff, no ads -- thus far unsolved – but “Conspiriacy” hangs heavy in the humid air.

Greene, 32, is an honorably discharged veteran. On CNN, Fox News and MSNBC he appears hesitant, almost unprepared.

Republican plant? – The Attorney General’s office says, no evidence of election fraud. Where did the $10,000 entry fee come from? – Greene says he saved it – but he’s said he has no job and plead poverty last Fall.

Columbia business owner, Ronnie Morris 62, confesses that voting on his lunch break Greene’s name was just the first one on the list. “When I saw him on TV for the sex investigation I said, “Lord have mercy, I voted for this dude!’” He says he knows five other people who did the same thing. .

A precinct captain believes quite a few GOP voters voted for Greene deliberately … but ruminates – “You’d think though if Republicans did it they’d pick someone more believable.”

Th’ th’ --- that’s all folks… I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
