@HerecomesDrBob @chwestmo7 Gore, Sr. voted for the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts. He opposed the 1964 Act (an election year for him), but voted for the Voting Rights and Fair Housing Acts. He lost the 1970 election. His constituent mail is overwhelmingly opposed to the then pending Civil Rights bill.

@profevanbennett There’s room for at least one Kinky Friedman Statue. How hard can it be?

@HerecomesDrBob What could this mean. Embargo Fla. oranges?

@profevanbennett Ratatouille? Baba Ganoush? Melitzanosalata? These are great ways to eat eggplant. There’s dozens of ways to make it. Super healthy, too.

Thanks to the efforts of the @tennesseeguard, @tnhospitals & @bfrist, pallets of medical supplies have landed overseas to help Ukrainians. The Volunteer State stands in support of Ukraine 🇺🇦

The Oral History Association has released a statement condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine and expressing support for the people of Ukraine and, in particular, our fellow oral historians in Ukraine. #ukrainecrisis #ukraine

@HerecomesDrBob Shrove Tuesday is the Anglican term. It’s Mardi Gras in the Catholic world.

@KevinMKruse Indeed. I see neither bacon or sausage on that plate. Sad.

[Louis Kyriakoudes @LKyriakoudes]

@profevanbennett @KevinMKruse No bacon? Sausage? Or side piece of steak? Waffle House has a pretty good steak and eggs.
