GREETINGS: The West Virginia-Nixon Connection
IT IS A LITTLE KNOWN FACT that were you to rotate the state of West Virginia 45-degrees to the right you will get a caricature artist's version of the profile of Richard Nixon. We are hearing a lot more about Richard Nixon since, oh, Jan. 8, 2017. We will let other commentators draw their own diagrams and conclusions as to whether we have a federal government in the throes of a Watergate-calibre meltdown. Or worse. But did you also know that the daughter of Sam Dash, the forthright lawyer who led the Watergate hearings, lives in Charleston. W.Va., and is a therapist? Maybe she will let us interview her about her Dad. We could all use a little bit of therapy these days, living as we do in a state that resembles Richard Nixon, the last president to get tossed out of office on his ear. (And who was, say what you will about his dark side — and it WAS dark — was a student of history and who did get a few things done before he melted down and was impeached.) What state does Donald Trump resemble?
And, yes, this is the first post of WestVirginiaVille.com. Thanks for stopping by. Stop by again.
