Lewis Grizzard was a legend where I’m from...I didn’t discover him until after he died (I was only 9 when it happened), and started reading some of his books out of curiosity. There’s also an archive of every column he ever wrote on-line...

Man, if only he was alive today...I can’t imagine what a field day he’d be having with Obama-land.

Grizzard was a Georgia bulls kinda guy, and Im a damn yankee but he made me laugh real hard.
I never knew my kin from the south harbored resentments
until he explained it to me LOL!

You might also like Patrick F. Mcmanus even if he's a Damn Yankee..

A Fine And Pleasant Misery

Grizzard was beyond hilarious and was so ahead of the country on mocking PC BS.

I remember him mocking the campaign against eggs in the 70’s.

“what! 2 eggs over easy with hashbrowns!!!? You’re a dead man!”
