Morning Reads for Tuesday, October 4
Good morning! I have a lot of experience compiling Morning Reads!
I knew those Morning Reads. I served with those Morning Reads. Those Morning Reads were a friend of mine. You, sir, are not those Morning Reads.
- The NYT published a profile of Tiffany Trump, and while she did not offer any quotes, her mom, Georgia’s own Marla Maples, sure did – and they are a glorious master class in passive-aggression.
- NPR brought us a fascinating interview with Michael Twitty, the food historian at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello who blogs about being black, Jewish, and gay.
- The Urban Land Institute named Midtown Atlanta as one of the Great Places in America.
- August was a record month for Georgia’s ports.
- A computer glitch removed more than 200 Georgians from the state’s voter rolls. Don’t worry – they’re back!
- And anyway those electronic voting machines are “crappy, buggy, and obsolete.”
- The latest trajectory for Hurricane Matthew.
- The Trump Foundation was ordered to stop fundraising immediately.
- One incoming Missouri legislator accused another of raping her.
- It’s a good year for Georgia’s olive harvest.
- Clown sightings come in phases, no worries. They’re like cicadas, or shark attacks.
- “Ain’t I a woman? Who knits?” (Yes, I know Sojourner Truth never said that last part.)
- AND PEGGY!

Optical scan ballots are the best, most reliable technology, and should be mandated nationally with funding from the federal government.
Lloyd Benson – Gone but not forgotten.
I guess that’s a joke.
That was really uncalled for, xdog.
Maybe there should just be a Trump Morning Reads. Seems like there is always enough to jump on, even if it’s not Georgia specific.
Maybe. Then again, what’s the point? Not like anyone’s going to change their minds regardless what is said by Trump or anyone else. The silence is preferable to the ignorance, I would think.
No need to hear from us dumbass “deplorables “, eh, Dav? Well, with his typical crowd numbers in the thousands, you’ll be hearing from many more in November!
Yeah, but there are millions of women voters who typically vote republican that out number you deplorables. We will also be hearing from them in November and they won’t be voting for Trump.
Get your ammo early. And there will be a little bump in the firearms and ammo markets. Bet on it.
Why are people assuming general panic, riots, and insurrection will break out if Trump doesn’t win?
I’ve heard of poor losers, but isn’t that rather extreme?
And who would be attacked if old white men riot?
“Maybe there should just be a Trump Morning Reads.”
That’s called Twitter.
I’ve already got enough rabbit holes without getting sucked into that one too!
Truly lol.
Hurricane Matthew. You clowns better recognize.
I’m already swearing and using special words over this whole MATThew thing. You really sure you want to “recognize” MATThew?
When I was a young lad in elementary school, I survived Hurricane Hugo. It was freaky. First, the power goes, then the landline and then it hits but I slept through most of it.
They’ve always impressed me and I can’t control the fact one was named after me.
My first job was helping a flooring installer, and after hurricane Agnes in ’72 I remember the houses down by the river in PA where I grew up had mud on the walls about 4 ft high. A lot of those were shotgun houses and the fire department was going through and hosing down the insides of the houses from the front door and blowing everything out the back door. Funny and sad at the same time.
I was a junior in college during Hugo driving down from Wisconsin for classes to start at SCAD. A 19 hour drive turned into a 4 day site seeing trip.
