Faulkner…
As for his grandfather, quite the fellow, he, if you could take Granny’s word for it. And she would be proud to see you “spelled the name right (Falkner!) I’m not particularly a student or devotee to Civil War military history, but the 2nd Mississippi Infantry to which Faulkner’s grandpa, later Governor Stone (whoo, whee the stories I have from him and his dealings with Great Granny!) and my own great grandfather were attached was known for its ferocity on the field of battle and its loyalty to the Lost Cause post War…
“As I Lay Dying…”
Faulkner wove various tales from local lore into his novels. The story as it opens has the woman looking from her death bed as her husband built her coffin. Faulkner uses this as his introduction to the bizarre tale of carting the body about the countryside. My mother’s animosity was that the story of the coffin and the story of the shlepping of the corpse were from two different sources. The opening was that of Miss Vinnie Stroup, a neighbor and friend of my mother’s whose desire was that she be buried in the coffin built by her husband. When she died, my mother was the one who in the “laying out” combed out Miss Vinnie’s hair, her pride. Mama, and the others in the area, had seen the building of the coffin and the placing of Miss Vinnie’s bed so that she could watch as something “sacred and holy.” Now, that lot that went carting the body around? They were not so highly respected and their actions not considered quite so “holy and sacred.” That Faulkner would weave the two together was, to Mama and Granny, an act of socio-cultural heresy!
As for “Intruder in the Dust,” that quote that sparked this is from it and taken, as is often the case, completely out of context. Personally, I think you will find it most intriguing from the race-relations aspect in time and place. And, yes, it is pretty much a true story and one of those that Faulkner stuck to the real story on.
Ralph Ellison…
He is one of the few of Faulkner’s contemporaries who actually understood what it was that Faulkner was doing. Faulkner was not so much concerned with “the South” per se as he was with the human condition. As he said, his own “little postage stamp of earth” was only the backdrop against which it played out, the place he “knew first hand.”
And “The Reivers?”
Faulkner said of it that he had spent his entire career to be able to tell that story! Even Granny had to admit that Grandpa Faulkner came across there with the proper respect…
And for my money, about one of the best film adaptations ever done! Steve McQueen at his finest…amazing his understanding of that role…
“…ain’t even 11 years old yet, and already been cut up in a wh*rehouse brawl…”

REginald: But it seems to me, if I see “the messiah” or “the one” on this blog, it’s a guanrantee that that the poster is a conservative using it in an ironic manner?
Ha! Its a guarantee that they’re using it to back up a ridiculous point that not ONE DEM in office has ever said – - and as far as I can tell, not one dem has ever said period.
I’d actually never seen the quotes you cite before, but perhaps that’s because I don’t get my information from such well-known liberal pundits as Rarakhan, Foxx, and Winfrey
They’ll pull up a doctored youtube video, (like the one where Obama’s grandmother “said” Obama was born in Kenya); and use that as “proof”. Whereas if I pull up the actual report from the reporters that were actually THERE that day and HEARD what was said, you’ll see that “messiah” was never mentioned by Oprah OR Farrakahn.
In essence, it’s kinda stooopid for them to even ADD Farrakahn in the midst. Farrakahn doesn’t even BELIEVE in a messiah, so why would he liken Obama as one?

No! I’m trimming Brosephus’ broad brush. He claimed it was Christian’s who call Obama “The Messiah.”
FYI
The “Liberals” here are not the ones on this blog referring to Obama as “messiah”. The only time the Liberals here even use that term in the same sentence as Obama’s name is to question why the Conservatives, most often the self-professed Christians here, refer to him in that manner. Why not post under your regular name and challenge me that way as opposed to creating sock puppets to do your work for you? That’s what a real man/woman would do.

Debbie, “RB, just asking mind you, but what type of job do you think a Vet can get if he was in the military as a nuclear submarine munitions clerk? ”
I’d say anything in distribution or logistics would be good. It’s doubtful a “clerk” would ever be involved in the actual handling of nuclear materials and is more likely involved in the storage, security, and maintenance of the weapons. You obviously don’t know the difference in matching someone’s experience to the job and matching someone’s skill set. As an example, putting a person who lacks detail orientation in a detail oriented job is sure to fail regardless of how many years they’ve tried to do the job. But don’t fret, Debbie, most people who’ve never hired a person understand the difference, so you go back to your liberal fantasy land and keep demanding other people pay for all the crap you think is worthy.

Reminds me. I really wish Team Obama would simply mint a few platinum trillion dollar coins and tell the Speaker to eff off.
the Treasury is allowed to unilaterally mint platinum coins. It could create a $1 trillion coin, and deposit it at its account at The Federal Reserve.
It sounds completely crazy, but … it’s even crazier to think that the U.S. would default arbitrarily just because of a dumb law.
So if the choice is between default and a trillion dollar platinum coin, we endorse the coin all the way.
So yeah, I realize it’d be crossing the Rubicon, but sheesh, didn’t the Speaker and his crew already go wading there by upping the stakes on the debt ceiling last year, anyway?

One year after Obama was elected, I was selling cars. There was a big tent sale with a gigantic tent where all the region’s salesman were assembled for an event. Suddenly a limosine pulled up and a man wearing an Obama mask emerged carrying a briefcase stuffed with five and ten dollar bills, (mostly ones, though). He immediately began to throw fistfulls of cash up in the air as he moved through the throng of salesmen. At least 80 salesmen began scrambling on the ground like a game of Twister grabbing up the waves of falling bills. The chaos lasted at least five minutes. This one fin landed on my beer gut and before I could get it someone snatched it right off me. (true). Now the Obama mask did have a simian tinge to it so the political attitude was blatantly obvious: Obama is a socialist monkey. I managed to get $79. Most got thirty to fifty. Some got $150. Then Obama got back in the limo and disappeared. I gave away most of the $79 to a single mom who worked part time there as a customer spotter and house snitch (lotdropping, stacking, skating, and smoking). I felt humiliated and abused after it was all over. The owner (100 dealerships!) must have had a good laugh. I sold 23 cars that month and made eight thousand dollars ($5K after taxes) and won a free steak dinner. I guess it is kinda funny. But you stay humble in the car biz.

Doom — “Because libs never post insults or name call. Perhaps you missed some of Joe mama’s earlier posts”
Doom, man up.
If I slam someone, I’m man enough to own up to it. You should follow that example instead of going ‘but MOM! THAT guy did it TOO!”
Grow up, son.

“you’re an even better candidate for an intervention or lithium”
Aquagirl, that’s the 2nd straight time you’ve used that. Can’t you be a little more original. You’re starting to sound like tired old kamspam the lame repetitive post bunny.
In the past I’ve usually been very respectful of you Aquagirl but the last several times you’ve posted towards me and in particular today you’ve taken some snipes at me. So naturally if you’re willing to engage in nastiness then I’ve no problem taking the gloves off with you. If you want to post in a civilized manner to me then I’ll reciprocate. But if you want to be nasty and try and match wits against me then we can do that too. Good luck with that.

OMG. From the poster who needs half a page to post DOOMSTRIKE and a handful of exclamation points. Hoo-boy, that’s a knee-slapper.
“OMG. From the poster who posts (pointing, laughing) after his posts.”
Only because it irritates the living daylights out of you, son. The more you let on what bothers you, the more I’ll do it. (pointing, laughing)

I also agree that most of the conservative inability to understand context and nuance is willful. They got nothin’, so they gotta troll.
Amen Brother. Amen.

Thanks paulo that was nice (and beautiful) of you! Enjoyed it.

FYI — Was Romney’s “47% comment” doctored too?
No. And today boys and girls is Another lesson in small answers for small brains.
FYI — “the reporters that were actually THERE”???????????????? The same reporters who are out to “heal” the lame??????????????
Are you scared of reporters now TOO?!? Dang! Grow a pair why don’t ya?!?
I have you figured out. You’re not only lame, you’re a tool.
Better a tool, than a rabid simple minded fool who denies the existence of science, math, and common sense. Just saying…….

Ooh another FAulknerite!! Check out the big brains on indigo!! Did you like the book? It is ALSO one of my favorite, “faulkners”!

josef: Yep. Tells you to what level we’ve sunk, doesn’t it?
Word. (shudder) AND to make it even worse, the “ladies” of the bookclub, (some as old as my mother), start talking about their sexual fantasies that they’re having after reading each chapter!!! EEEEWWWWW!! Some things are best left unsaid and falls into the TMI category!!
A Bookclub should be about the book as art — A Fredrich of Hollywood’s Club should be about sexual fantasies! IMO!

RB from Pluto: I’d say anything in distribution or logistics would be good. It’s doubtful a “clerk” would ever be involved in the actual handling of nuclear materials and is more likely involved in the storage, security, and maintenance of the weapons
As usual you are WRONG! First off, I just made up the job — like how you make up “facts” — figured I get you back before the start of 2013; secondly how’d you pull “logistics and distrubution” out your azz like that? Do they teach that in conned school?

Regnad,
Jeez dude. Some of you guys are so whiny. JHM, Aquagirl, etc. You start off sniping, insulting and name calling and then when I respond in kind ya’ll start whining like children and crying foul. Ya’ll shouldn’t be throwing rocks from your glass houses.

Considering how every prognostication, prediction, estimate, and wild guess you’ve made here over the last couple years has either been dead wrong or a blatant lie, I doubt you’ll find many takers for your offer of economic tutoring here, even if you offered it for free.

There goes Joe Mama with his mind reading FAIL yet again. It doesn’t bother me in the least. I hope you keep doing it. Why? Because it just shows your immaturity and everyone can see it. I mean come on. The (pointing. laughing) stuff is 6th grade material.
And btw when you start off referring to other posters as “son” in an attempt to be degrading its just a tacit admission that you’re already angry. I think you need some of that lithium that Aquagirl was talking about. You sure seem like an angry little elf.

Then perhaps you would like to detail some of these failed prognostications, estimates, and other blah blah of yours.
“I doubt you’ll find many takers for your offer of economic tutoring here, even if you offered it for free.”
I can’t make you see if you refuse to open your eyes. Nor can I teach you if you refuse to open your mind.

Speaking of predictions, I kinda enjoyed this, even though I don’t know this David Weigel fella from a hole in the ground:
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2012/12/david_weigel_looks_back_at_the_predictions_he_got_wrong_in_2012.html
particularly liked the conclusion:
There is much more to this business than prediction, which is why the pundit who did it best—Nate Silver—eschewed gut feelings and Advisers Speaking on the Condition of Anonymity for data. Next year, with its promise of constant fiscal showdowns, will require a combination of hard math and careful reporting.

Doomy, go sleep off the hangover. You’re cranky and trying to pick fights with everyone here. You came rolling in with a stick up your bum for some unknown reason. (um, not that there’s anything wrong with that.) You can keep it right there, I’m not assisting in any adjustments or removal attempts.
If you want cranky fightfests post at Kyles. But you’ll have to wait a few days, the con blog can’t operate without a daddy because they $#!^ themselves when unattended.
Oddly enough the lib blog will be open so you can complain about how nasty libs are with their name-calling and insults.

Doom — “There goes Joe Mama with his mind reading FAIL yet again. It doesn’t bother me in the least.”
Sorry, son. You already admitted this past summer that you hate it. Mindreading fail or just more Doom Dishonesty? I think we both know the answer to that.
“I hope you keep doing it.”
Good.
“Why? Because it just shows your immaturity and everyone can see it. I mean come on. The (pointing. laughing) stuff is 6th grade material.”
Well, you’d certainly be the go-to guy for identifying 6th-grade material here, Doom.
“And btw when you start off referring to other posters as “son” in an attempt to be degrading its just a tacit admission that you’re already angry.”
Stop calling people “missy,” then, hypocrite. (giggling)
“I think you need some of that lithium that Aquagirl was talking about. You sure seem like an angry little elf.”
Psst. You sell medical insurance. You’re not a doctor.
