And for a somewhat different perspective:
Patricia Brady
1. First of all this morning, I looked at the re-post of yesterday, http://scottkenan.blogspot.mx/2013/11/a-perhaps-timely-reprint-no.html , and discovered a terrible vulgarity modifying Patricia Brady, so to preserve the original intent and also modify things a tetch, I changed it to "aht-tway", a term too strong for my current understanding.
As everyone even half sane knows, there is NO GREATER BULLY than an overweight woman, wrapped in RELIGION and pretensions of 18th or 19th century landed aristocracy, which in MANY WAYS describes the basic tenants of the Episcopal Church -- not that I know anything about Patricia Brady's spiritual/religious life.
It CERTAINLY describes Patricia Brady's writing life, dedicated to long-ago First Ladies, especially.
I don't doubt Ms. Brady is an EXCELENT HISTORIAN, but honoring the past and trying to BRING IT BACK are two different things, and I was PLEASED AS PUNCH to find THIS on Pat Brady's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PatriciaBradyHistorian .
"Patricia Brady is an author and historian, specializing in the first ladies and free people of color." (I am AFRAID TO ASK which ones she means are NOT free, and why her disinterest.) My only hope is that she does NOT expect "free people of color" to be as "High Episcopalian" as she seems to be, and RESPECTS the diversity of cultures and expression that are TODAY'S REAL WORLD.
2. I REMOVED Annette Saddik from the list of "Tennessee's METH-HEADS", because she NEVER seemed to be any kind of drug addict to me -- at least in my interaction with her. The problem for ME has been that Annette is so often at Thomas Keith's side:
But in my EXPERIENCE with Annette (really confined to the Bishop's Reception at Cathedral John the Divine, as I had always seen her at Williams festivals, but then remained SHY, almost IMPOSSIBLE to believe now), is that she is spontaneous, fun-loving, witty, and bright -- as well as quite attractive. She and I had a literally KNEE-SLAPPING good time that evening!!!
The ONLY bad thing anyone has said of her is that John Uecker accused her of STEALING HIS SCHOLARSHIP many times in 2009. This is PROBABLY sour grapes, and even if she DID steal it, MORE POWER TO HER!!! John Uecker literally STOLE TENNESSEE WILLIAMS' LIFE, so MORE should be stolen from him since the Republican Party, Episcopal Church, and narco-traffickers WORLDWIDE are John Uecker's only protection from prosecution.

3. Regarding the writer Randall Kenan, I ADDED material about him, and even though he and I are NOT blood related, Randall gave me INVALUABLE information back in 2010, so I'm going to paste some of it in here -- and expand even a little more:

Also Randall appears to be descended from the cook pictured in the kitchen at the "Kenan Ancestral Home" here: http://www. libertyhallnc.org/.

>>> But going BEYOND what I posted yesterday, Randall's SECOND BOOK:
Named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, nominated for the 1992 National Book Critics Circle Award, and given the Lambda Award.
. . . caused ME some serious problems in Wilmington, North Carolina, in the most IDIOTIC WAY!!!
I don't recall EXACTLY the significantly important Legal Situation I was in at the time, either my trial when lawyer David Nash sued me for Cyber-Stalking, or it was just a hearing before a judge, but someone kept quoting the NAME of this book (without mentioning that it was a BOOK -- and indeed DENYING THAT when I protested), claiming they found the phrase "Let the dead bury their dead" several places in this blog (I've sometimes HONORED these first two of Randall's books as two of the best I've ever read), as ABSOLUTE PROOF that I belonged to an "Anti-Christian Cult" and that that phrase was a way of my alerting OTHERS in this Cult of which I am an alleged member.
REALLY!!!
And the judge did NOT find that anything but VERY PERSONALLY DISTURBING.
This is ONE reason that I claim that if there IS a "vengeful God", he will smite Wilmington, North Carolina with MORE FORCE than nearly anywhere else. Not only are REAL DEVILS allowed to lie and distort like this and NO ONE PROTESTS, but they BELIEVE THAT CRAP and base LEGAL DECISIONS ON IT.
Those who are SMARTER, ALLOW these DEVILS free reign in the New Hanover Courts. So YES, Wilmington WILL PAY!!!
Wilmington prepares for her fate.
