Take a Knee

[Mitch]

You may be speaking about the former President, Rufus. Without a prompter, he had a really tough time getting out a coherent sentence.

No. Pretty sure he never was awarded a Nobel for Chemistry

Without a prompter, he had a really tough time getting out a coherent sentence.

Wonder how you'd do at a podium in front of some cameras with a few thousand eyes on you.

Biggest room I've ever addressed was ~3,000 - damned unnerving up there all alone with me myself and I, a microphone, and ~35 slide.

This is why they pay the president and you the BIG bucks to do the job.

The best speaker as president that we have had was Bill Clinton. in my opinion.

Not for much longer!

In recent history, working without a script in hand or prompter, yes.

How stupid is that...

All three threads combined:

NY Daily News , Oct. 28, p: 34
Page header: He is McAir Head
Bob McNair, Houston Texans owner said: We can't let the inmates run the prison, in reference to the Taking a Knee controversy.

Conclusions?

Murph,
I don't have a conclusion but I do see all of this hastening the death of our country as we have known it. At least for those over 50.
What can happen to free speech, the right to assembly, religious freedom in the not too distant future?
I don't even like to think about it but I just can't hide.

Conclusion.
A slave master wont be told how his cotton will be picked.

So the owner of a pro sports team is a slave master? But these slaves seem to be rather well paid.
Even the lower paid jocks make in a year what my total pay was for 43 years. I just can't feel sorry for them.

It's akin to sayin', "we can't let the patients run the asylum". No different than what's goin' on now in colleges. The students are calling the shots and the faculty and the boards are not only lettin' them get away with it, they're helpin' them.

The faculty and boards teach the little creeps their "values" and applaud when they act out.

Where do college graduates go looking for jobs these days?

[rex desilets]

Starbucks?

[Roy]

China?
