@Y2ksistah01 @megynkelly Forgive me if I don’t try out this particular “term of endearment” on my dear friends.

@AnnaCollinson So sad to read this.

@bshelburne Takes after the mom I knew.

[Greg Wayland @gregwnecn]

@bshelburne Whose child this is I think I know/She lives in Alabama though;/ She will not see us stopping here/ To listen to her mommy crow/....And has miles to go before she sleeps/And miles to go before she sleeps.

@AnnaCollinson Pre-or-post pandemic, I’ve always heard very mixed reports on the NHS. It seems potentially long waiting periods, even for the sickest, are inescapable under government-run health care.

[Greg Wayland @gregwnecn]

@AnnaCollinson That is a long list, the wonders, most non-potable, that we do not know exist. Drink deeply of life.

@RaymondArroyo Actually looks PhotoShopped. God bless the Carters, so physically diminished, as time will do to us all. Their spirit of moderation and comity seems also to have shriveled in their Party, sadly, and Joe Biden’s stature and purported moderation been artificially ballooned as here.

@JessPish How likely do you think it is that he is at all representative of the mass of Georgia law enforcement or officialdom? It’s always worth condemning the outliers, but important to remain wary of potentially ideologically charged anecdotes in these polarized times. Let’s be fair.

@SharinStone @megynkelly It’s the job of some of them, as culture critics, to watch, painful as that may be. And Piers Morgan is hardly a right-winger. Don’t you miss the days when the Oscars were an enjoyable spectacle, not a ‘woke’ camp meeting for, preachy, purblind Hollywood elites?

[Greg Wayland @gregwnecn]

@MikeDeeson Yeah, Dave, join the rest of us in the downward march of civilization.

@james_roe @megynkelly “Racially motivated”? Evidence, please. Or, in the face of all evidence to the contrary, does the disingenuous. malevolent, divisive race-mongering go on, tailored to fit just about any tragedy?

[Greg Wayland @gregwnecn]

@legalobserver1 @DanCrenshawTX It fights racism with more racism, I.e. a heightened racial consciousness that is ultimately about power relationships, not a color-blind equality and equanimity among us all. Poisonous and duplicitous in my estimate and not what we need now, or ever.

@BobWCVB @middlebrooks Let’s hope it’s God’s gift to baseball, not chemistry’s gift to the front office.

[Greg Wayland @gregwnecn]

@Jeff_Jacoby Very sorry, Jeff. My prayers and condolences.

@MassStatePolice Winter 2019 in central Mass, a slab of ice jolted off the top of a semi, shattered my friend’s windshield, covered her and her 80-yr-old companion with broken glass and ripped off her rear view mirror. They could have been killed. Trucker didn’t stop. Clear off truck tops, folks.

@NBCSCameraGuys Hello! Hello!! “Camping” in Tampa Bay -indefinitely. Tom and Gronk followed me. Hope you guys are prospering.

@RaymondArroyo Stuck in my brain is Kelsey Grammer’s sour account of his stage work opposite him while a young actor. Had to do with some trivial stage matter of always getting his face in the right light. Well, Kelsey, you know great actors, indeed all of us, want to be seen in the best light.

[Greg Wayland @gregwnecn]

@BinMd8 @JennaEllisEsq This is a sadly worn-out trope, that the millions who defend life are imposing their beliefs on others. Rather, POTUS and a “woke “ elite are denying, by executive order, life and freedom to millions and, in an act of cultural imperialism, exporting this culture of death abroad.

@Jeanne826 @Franklin_Graham I know how to speak truth to power, but ignorance and Catholic bigotry require prayer. I’ll pray for you, and pray basketball is your only Jones.
