As the holidays grow near, many of us start the 'dread' early. The level of dysfunction in the Pinkdome family compound is a Tennessee Williams Southern Gothic tragedy that ought to charge admission. We always send a case of Veuve home before we arrive just to make sure there's a bottle nearby at all times. In Conroe, Texas, the Martin family ought to get to the liquor store early, too. Guy Martin ran against his brother in a bitter campaign for city council. After he lost, he started a newsletter...and a blog.
The newsletter and blog is, Martin says, is about the truth in politics. Uh oh. We all know that whatever you do in politics ...you never tell the truth. It's like the first rule of fight club. Martin attacks politicians, his own brother, and apparently a preacher, giving him the moniker of "pulpit pimp." Guy Martin claims his brother bought votes in the recent election.
Ouch. There's a lawsuit filed, natch, against Martin and his other writers. Martin responds with, ''I'm not going to apologize about the truth." We can wholeheartedly agree with that position...if it is the truth. Which we don't know. But, never apologize for telling the truth. It's the one thing we need the most in politics today.
