Trump’s about to sign an EO to β€œpunish” flag desecration… but let’s not forget: on Jan 6, a rioter beat a Capitol police officer with an American flag. That man got a pardon. Spare us the fake patriotism.

They either (1) take pride in their own stupidity, or (2) seize every opportunity to perform their own subservience by humiliating themselves on behalf of an imbecile’s ego.

β€œYou are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
β€œAs to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
β€œPicked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

β€œHow?”? Seriously? β€œHow” are they terrible at their jobs?They were chosen for that specific reason, that they are and would be preposterously, ridiculously unqualified, and thus would be completely in the thrall of those who chose them. It’s by design and not by accident, that can’t be said enough.

Friday, April 25: Yaniv Perez Quartet at Krave, 348 Cambridge Road, Woburn MA. Three terrific musical masters, also one pathetic attention-starved guitar abuser. Very good food, adult beverages, convivial companions and surroundings. Reports of the death of jazz? premature.
