Thanks. I did not even know he sang.

That's getting there.

One of the things that I find odd is that the television show's producers have maintained that in fact the Smollett character was not being written off the show. Putting aside any psychological reason or any other reason, if he was not being written off the show there would have been no reason for Smollett to "stage" his own attack. I suppose that will come at when the investigation is concluded but it just seems odd.

Really, if you got the guy for what I think then you sort of know that bit of information.

Generally I agree with you. However a nation and its people often will follow its leaders and the poorer the behavior of its leaders often the poorer the behavior of its people. The flip side is often true also. During eras where the emphasis was on helping one another there was more of an emphasis on providing for those less fortunate and changing behavior to be less degrading. Of course, bad behavior continued but much of it was changed because the citizens looked to its leadership.

I wish he would wash up on my shore.

Part of the reason may be because the President has over the years voiced or demonstrated disdain for many of the less fortunate, i.e., women, the disabled, racial minorities, religious minorities, the transgendered, etc. While he may have voiced at one time for gay rights, sometimes people can't (or won't) discern among the various groups and feel it fair to discriminate and/or attack everyone they wish. The President seldom, if ever, comes out and defends any group.

Truer words have never been spoken . . .
