This is where I came in


My first post here (assigned by Lem) was "We are all Trayvon." Come to find out recently there were glaring inconsistencies everywhere. The tl;dw of this video, by the self-styled black guys at Bloggingheads, is Rachel Jeantel was not the real girlfriend of Trayvon. In this video, and/or the one that follows it up, Loury and McWhorter bring out obvious things missed or overlooked at the time; Rachel Jeantel could not read a letter she had supposedly written to Trayvon because it was in cursive; Trayvon 6'3" tall, and Zimmerman was short; etc. Glad the jury was on the case.

Hi, welcome back Deborah. Fitting that CNN settled with Nick Sandmann yesterday. Another case of media malpractice.

deborah said...

Thanks, amp. Not current on that case. I used to be the biggest news junkie. Now I will go to cards at my uncle's on Friday nights, and someone will say, "did you hear about that bridge that collapsed in Florida?"

MamaM said...

Look what the wind blew in!!! Even cooler than deborah's timely return to provide more food for thought, is the fit of this new post under the quote in the header: “We should always allow some time to elapse, for time discloses the truth.”

Sometimes, MamaM, sometimes.

Hey, there's Deborah! How you doin'? Doin' okay? Is it cold where you are? It's cold here. (Ha - kidding - I was just sitting outside in the sun - it's not bad at all.)

deborah said...

Hey, Sixty, doing pretty good. It was 27 degrees this morning and calling for 64 degrees and 90% chance rain on Friday. It's been like that all 'winter,' but no complaints here!

Amartel said...

Welcome back, small d! You've been missed.

deborah said...

Thanks, Amartel. When I tell my uncle it's good to see him, he says, 'it's better to be seen than viewed.' Always makes me laugh.

The Dude said...

LOL! Good one!

deborah said...

It's what I do, Nick. (I'm very resourceful, Amartel.)
