Two old men on a park bench
A parable from this blog's most notorious lefty troll! Not bad at all, and thought-provoking as any good parable is.

Not the usual Chambers drivel. I actually found some nuance there, and some hope--meaning he's had it all along yet never deigned to share it.
There have always been legends and folktales about such a meeting taking place between Twain and Douglass but no direct proof in diaries and letters. If such a mind-meld ever took place, I would imagine it would have gone the way Chambers narrates.
On the other hand, my fifteen year old son at first got Twain confused with "that KFC guy," which may substantiate at least some measure of lefty gloom-and-doom.

TH, you are a kind blogger not to raise the obvious point that CC proofs his own blog much better than he proofs his posts on this blog (if at all).
Not that any of us are perfect, but that is really a night and day difference!
He must be a very busy man.
Anyway, nice job, CC.

I've heard that part about the difference between the north and the south in the way they treated black people, from my father, who grew up in Louisiana.

Yes, it's very well done. It is obvious to anyone who has read the TH blog for any amount of time that CC's comments on TH are written more to get a reaction than they are written to convince. The more slapdash his comments are here, the more the reaction they will get. CC is deliberately stirring up the hornets nest of rightwingnuts. I can picture him laughing with glee at all the angry replies his comments stir up!
(A: he is an attorney and knows full well how to construct a coherent argument, two words which do not characterize many of his postings at TH. B: if he were really that concerned with convincing others, he would have multiple postings per thread. Most of the time CC has but one posting per thread.)
CC posts here for entertainment value. Let's see what I can write in X seconds, and let's see what kind of reaction it will stir up.
I had previously commented on TH that even a righwingnut could find some point of agreement with what CC writes on his own blog. So, I am not surprised.
