“2014 Georgia Governor’s Race”

What's in a name? I'll tell you names are common, but people ain't! Watching two political hacks trying to re-invent themselves for the voters, is about as funny as watching a fox trying to unlatch the door to the chicken house. And when you elect a professional politician to office, it's about the same as letting the fox guard the chicken house for you. You know he can't be trusted but you don't know what else to do.

Now about one hundred years ago, we had a "common name" election here in Georgia for Governor, between a man named Brown, and a man named Smith. Now Mr. Joseph M. Brown was the son of Joseph E. Brown, who had been the Governor of Georgia during the Civil War, or as we like to call it, "The Great War for Southern Independence". Of course we won that war, since when it was over, all of the Yankees went home, which was not the case the last time the North invaded the South, since by then we had air-conditioning, and they all stayed.

Brown had won in 1908 against Hoke Smith with the slogan "Hoke and Hunger, Brown and Bread", and these two old boys did not like each other. It was during some pretty hard times, and it was easy for these two rascals to play the people off against each other. Well, Smith won by a narrow margin in 1910, but soon ran off to Washington to take the place of U.S. Senator Alexander Clay, who had died in office. So Brown won in 1912, as Governor of Georgia, and renewed the fight against his old enemy, Georgia Senator Smith.

So here we go again.  That was then, and this is now! Now it is an incumbent governor against the grandson of a former governor, both of which are trying to convince the voters that they know how to get us out of the current mess we are in, even though they were both involved in getting us into a mess to begin with! Sound familiar?  Funny how a professional politician always sounds better when he is running for office, than when he is in office and trying to explain what he has been doing while he was there.

You can always write my name in, Scoop Biggers.  I promise not to steal near as much from you as some of these other candidates, and just like Bascomb always says, “I ain’t never lied to you, except for maybe right now!”
