Hi Kossacks. I'm a Hillary supporter.
Let me say I've thrown some elbows and caught a few here myself.
There's been times when I responded in anger,  mocked some of you or your candidate - and said things I'd like to think I wouldn't say in real life. I also think it's fair to say that it's gotten heated here at times. ; )

I would like to put the partisan stuff aside for now and speak to you from the heart.
I speak only for myself. For me to think that anyone else should come to the same conclusions as me is the height of arrogance. (Not that I'm not "all too human")
I mean, if I don't always know what's right for me, how can I say I know what's right for you?  Heck, I'm still putting together my jigsaw puzzle.

Blues singer/songwriter Percy Mayfield was a profound influence upon the fabric of Americana.

He was a wit, and the consumate urbane, and may I add - very dapper hipster. PM was born in Louisiana on Aug. 12, 1920.  

This is in response to the announcement of Fred Thompson to explore the possibility of running for president. Mr Thompson sits on the board of Scooter Libby's defense fund.

Apparently, he thinks it was ok to divulge the identity of Valerie Plame, a CIA officer who was covert, undercover and whose employment was classified...
