Sorry for the thin content here lately. Now and then I just don’t have much to say: I’ve written 5,030 posts over the past 14 years, and sometimes I feel as if anything I’d write would, at this point, just be repeating myself. (And then the muse grants me her favor once again, and I’m back to clogging the Internet with blather and heresy. Soon, I hope.)
Obviously there is the impeachment circus to comment on, but I don’t really have a lot to say about that, other than to note, first, how astonishingly flimsy the whole thing is and how deranged the Democrats are to do what they are doing; and second, how surreal the partisan divide has now become: we have moved way beyond any hope of normalization or reconciliation. Over the next twelve months, as Schiff, Nadler, et al. try to hound Mr. Trump out of office, the Barr team reveals the results of its investigations, and we descend again into the quadrennial hysteria of a presidential campaign, the American cauldron will seethe and boil with a vehemence that we haven’t seen, perhaps, since the 1850s. And: no matter what happens in the election, things won’t simmer down.
Back soon.

Hang on.
And last.

But certainly not least.
JK,
That Samantha Fish is a bundle of dynamite! I’ve never heard her before. She sounds like a blend of Janis Joplin and Bonnie Rait. The bass, both drum and guitar, will get your blood flowing too.
Reconciliation does seem an increasingly distant possibility, and less appealing as time progresses, in the knowledge that to do so would mean surrender of the last threads of principle. I would much prefer the peace of a modest rump state to the rancor of the new America.
In fact, on our side of this unhappy divide, and despite being portrayed as the worst possible people, it would seem that most would be content with a peaceful and friendly separation, if this were at all logistically possible. It is the good people, though, that despite all protestations to the contrary, would most oppose such a project. They need our compliant, warm bodies to pursue their goals of an egalitarian society, as unrealistic as these may be. We are paradoxically both the means, and all that stands in the way, of achieving their dreams.
I’d neither Whitewall.
Hadn’t heard tell of this one either

Hard to tap a toe to Samantha but Mean Mary?

Happy Thanksgiving Y’all!
Couldn’t stop listening to Mean Mary. Thanks, JK. She shows a lot of joy while playing.
Didn’t know about the pardoning of the turkey. So the President can do things for fun. Good.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Peace,
Bill
