I reside in Connecticut, a 'blue' state. We have a Democratic Governor, a Democratic majority in both the upper and lower chambers of our state legislature, five Democratic Congresspersons, and two Democratic Senators. I'm not saying we're fortunate, just that we are what we are.
Somewhat farther south, in Georgia, it's a little more 'colorful' with two Democratic Senators and a Republican Governor (and Margarine Trailer Park Greene as a Congressperson). One of the Senators, Reverend Ralph Warnock is being challenged by the former NFL's Dallas Cowboys' and USFL's New Jersey Generals' (owned by Donald J. Trump who made them part of his collection of failed businesses), as well as the University of Georgia Bulldogs' running back Herschel Walker.
Warnock, to my knowledge, has never played football of any kind at any level. Walker, on the other hand, often publicly presents himself as someone who may have played without a helmet a little too often and a little too long.
He impressed me a few weeks ago with his understanding of climate change, though not in a good way, and now he's trolling the Joyce Kilmer Appreciation vote I guess. Somewhere, Roger Waters is most surely smiling.
