In the past, I've not been convinced that this was an actual 80-something year-old woman writing this. But it just occurred to me that a very liberal history professor that I had in college when I went to UT was named Philpot, and he was about the right age for this woman to be his mother. If she raised him, then I could easily see her saying such things, so now I think maybe she is real.

Really, though, it doesnt matter if she is or isnt, since the words are what matters here, regardless of who says them and how old. Go read the rest of the post.
