God bless America, and how’s everybody?
Hurricane Irma finished up her Florida run by turning into a tropical storm, then pummeling Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The South got clobbered. People’s only source of hope lay in the Bible, and in the belief that if you play a Country Music song backwards, you get everything back.
The White House ordered the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the Florida peninsula following Hurricane Irma. It’s all part of the cycle of life down there. First comes the destruction, followed by Emancipation, next comes Reconstruction, then finally by the tearing down of the statues.
President Trump is scheduled to make a trip to Florida today to survey the hurricane damage and offer his support to those hardest hit. Trump already brought relief by announcing an emergency law. Floridians will be allowed to clean the ball and tee it up in the fairway until the courses dry out.
