DISTINCTION W/OUT A DIFFERENCE ?

1 The Dept of Obstructing Justice can go right on settling cases with J-6 & other such persons, whether they got away with it or not, special fund or no.

2 Todd Blanche will be right there in his impossible position as Interim AG as long as El Disgusto remains no matter what Tillis/Cornyn or others may do. Likewise Emil Bove, on Court of Appeals, for life, oh puke !

"The Martian Chronicles" - as I remembered it, a lot of Mars stories independent of one framework. But no ... 3 expeditions from Earth were abortive but wiped out Martians (chickenpox) ... then the Earthmen had their way with the place.
At 15 I had read that, Slaughterhouse-Five & Cat's Cradle, 'Catch-22', 'Hadrian the Seventh', Twain's 'Letters From the Earth', 'Candide', lots of Donald Barthelme, Italo Calvino, subscribed to "Time" ... human idiocy & depravity on the grand scale ...
*Foregone conclusion*, that's me

We heard so much about "The kids are reading Harry Potter & 'Series of Unfortunate Events' (13 vols) !"
not so much anymore eh?

Suddenly a flurry of references to Flann O'Brien on here ?
"Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" mentions a service to make your books look like you read them & loved them. Do you hear a little bell ringing?
O'Brien aka Myles na gCopaleen wrote pages about his imaginary enterprise in +-1950s: your books dog-eared, coffee/wine-stained, smudged, marginalia
("Poor Joyce said the same thing to me once").
As ever, it's damned funny (his "Cruiskeen Lawn" column in the Irish Times for many years).
Do yourself a kindness, read "The Third Policeman".
"The Best of Myles" can be downloaded ...
You take it from there, never say I didn't give you something incomparable

Rep. Thomas Massie didn't get, nor Sen. Cornyn at the last minute, Drumpf endorsement.
Neither would you have picked to lead their folks into the 21st century, but-
Cornyn had that 'central-casting Senator' thing

Paxton? "Libs will hate it, his wife says biblically unbearable, lies & lies, that's a man after my own heart"

Bad enough that more than once, deluded individuals had perfectly good trees cut down to build a full-size replica of the Ark / saw the chance to run a tourist trap, & all tax-free!

You'd think that for the sheer wastefulness, God wouldn't permit it.

Honestly, because we were the way God made us - all the other land animals died too, where did all that freshwater go - physics - and finally Noah's daughters molest him, to keep the race going?

Even as metaphor (?) it breaks down somewhere, no ?
