Inauguration Day
A la Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Macbeth, natural phenomena go haywire. The earth becomes feverous and shakes; lions are seen strolling up K Street. By clock it is day, but night has strangled the sun, casting darkness about the capital. When Trump places his hand upon the Bible, his palm and fingers are seared. Franklin Graham blames all of these unnatural events on the LBGTQ community.
Kid Rock recites an Inaugural poem.

You Do Hoodoo 
Are you related to Sir Thomas More? Being Irish, I thought perhaps your ancestors distanced Sir Thomas’s fame by adding an extra “o” to you guys’ last name in order to skip slavery in America. I always loved the way the Irish would dance w/o moving their torso so below the barn door they were having fun, but it appeared they were working when the authorities came by and saw their task (whatever that may have been) in the process of completion from above the door 🙂 That’s why there are many famous Irish dances that are only done w/ the legs. What’s up w/ Irish and writing? JFK was supposed to be the fastest reader on record and my second favorite President. You AND your son are off the charts when it comes to writing. Is it just ingrained in the Irish culture? Idk what it is, but the Irish Catholic was so fearless in the PT109 as well as the push for civil rights, the space race, and I even saw a video where he mentioned equal pay for equal work (a glass ceiling we still haven’t shattered), Then there was his brilliant use of Primary Opponent Adele Stephens as a spy of some sorts during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I have no idea how it worked but I’m pretty sure he was the Ambassador to the U.N. Then they wound up taking him off the payroll and used a back channel (a common Kennedy trick), and used him as a spy that helped end the Crisis. Btw, that was a nice touch on Lady Liberty :).
Hey, Rodney. Although I have some Scots Irish on my mother’s side, the Moores are English, probably immigrants from France way back. Lord, I do love the Irish, though — their music, their poetry (Yeats), their fiction (Joyce), and their drama (Shaw, Wilde). How did such a tiny island (it’s almost exactly the same size as South Carolina) produce so many geniuses?
Idk but I’m glad they did. I love the Scotch and the Irish, as well 🙂
There’s something about those Irish Catholics that turn out to be genii like the Kennedys and yourself. I know you’re Episcopalian like my family, but it’s close enough to Catholic 🙂
Remaining politically neutral, I believe Ireland has also produced an abundant supply of the most talented musicians in the world. Maybe it has something to do with the isolation of being such a tiny island.
ONE MORE REPLY to “Trump’s First Year: Predictions” for May since I place equal blame on Gary Johnson as I do the media’s cowardice performance in its coverage of Trump. He literally proved any press is good press given people turned a blind eye to rape allegations from a PROMINENT journalist at People magazine, accusations of child molestation of a 12 year old, and his admitting groping women being ok since he’s a celebrity. Jared Kushner could very well walk away doing what you’re talking about now that Trump is ushering in the Fox crew for his entourage and being that now money is *officially* speech, what’s to stop him. I just don’t get it. I thought we had THE most tenacious and aggressive press in the world, but they were held back by bars that contain cows at the fair? I thought our system couldn’t allow an authoritarian to rise because we PRESS power to be accountable. It’s right there in the name, “PRESS”. Oh well, since you brought this up I wanted to recommend a movie (which I rarely do) to you if you have any time extra time on your hands to watch it now or in the future. I know Judy is on Day 14 of her treatment, so please don’t feel obligated whatsoever. It’s called “Spotlight” and it got 5 stars on Netflix. The movie is about the international Catholic Church scandal about child molestation. It’s tentacles actually popped up in your home sweet home of Charleston, along w/ Venezuela, Chile, New Zealand, Poland. Mexico, and pretty much anywhere on the map you can think of. Anyway, it’s what happens when an entity becomes more powerful than the 1st Amendment, in this case which something I truly feel Trump did EVEN to slanted programs that come on MSNBC, which is truly terrifying to me.

Pressing forward 7 months how are you feeling about the journalists today? Me personally im disgusted .
Just spent an incredible weekend with Guiller and Jeanne Moore, born and raised in Howth, Ireland (Guiller in the middle singing).

I don’t know if you’d call it genius, but these people are the salt of the earth.
Back to the drawing board on predictions. Screw the press, they’ve forgotten what their job is.
Maybe these folk are distant cousins of the South Carolina cracker Moores.
