An ode to "clean beautiful coal":

A heavy soot upon the sill,
A cough that lingers, deep and chill.
Ancient sun, in stone entombed,
is dragged to light to see us doomed.
A blackened ghost of past.
A relic we must bid adieu.
For when the wind and sun are free,
Why burn the earth for energy?

β€œCatch-22": β€œIt was miraculous. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
Or in the case of Trump, a lying sociopath with no empathy.

β€œCatch-22": β€œIt was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice.

"The arteries of Donald J. Trump are β€œextremely unlikely” to serve a third term in the White House, the blood vessels said on Tuesday.
