On the way out the door this evening, one of the guys cornered me. His daughter was molested by her cousin and he just found out. As a father myself, my friend was hurting badly. It hurt me to see his pain.
We talked for a while and I tried to give him some ideas on how to help his daughter. The shitbird can be dealt with later.
I need a drink.
Studs Terkel died last week.
yeah, he was a socialist asshole- in a recent interview he stated
“The big problem is that there’s no memory of the past. Our hero is the free market. People forget how the free market fell on its face way back in the Depression. And how the nation pleaded with its government and got help. “
Which shows you that age isn’t a guarantee of wisdom.
Still, I liked his writing style. Seeya, Studs, you had a good long run.
