I never intended for this space to be political. I was thinking photos and creative thinking.

It’s been a challenge this year in that regard. I didn’t watch the “debate” last night, but I did catch a lot of chaff this morning in various papers online. I do not know why I even opened them up. I should have just stuck with playing Scrabble online with my like-minded opponents after I finished the crossword.

I did get a good laugh out of, “I brought football back.” You must be very proud.

Of course he won’t condemn white supremacists. That’s his base.

He even gave the Proud Boys a motto: “Stand by.” Does that mean with long guns at the ready? I still don’t understand why grown men would call themselves “boys.” Or “proud.” I’m pretty sure pride is one of the deadly sins. Those folks and their president apparently skipped a lot of Sunday school.

And I bet Chris Wallace is tendering his resignation this morning or is on suicide watch. I sure hope the moderators who are scheduled for the two remaining events opt out. I do not like the USA’s being made a laughing stock on the world stage by the president of the United States. Yet again.

Back to the ball. I believe the good news of the day is that the NBA finals start tonight. If you can find anything uplifting to keep your eye on, do it!
