Self-declared American Catholics are despairing of the Pope himself (as per the meme news) these days.

There’s a beautiful book “The Book of Lost Books” by Stuart Kelly, which is a bit like Gaiman’s Dream’s library. Books that for some reason never made it. Lost, started and abandoned, planned and never started, burned manuscripts, you name it.

You’re assuming he understands the concept of “annual” (foreign-ish word, that).
Or that he can count further than 1.

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful reply.
I’ll answer this one first, because easiest: I think you’re charmingly idealistic.
A frighteningly large amount of people would call Nancy “poignant” (partly b/c they don’t know what it means). The world is mad, in a worse way than the magazine.

That, and that so far he has pretty much always been able to simply bullshit his way out of situations.
At least with his cult.
Mocking a disabled reporter? Insulting Gold Star families? Pussy-grabbing? The evidence is there, and so is he.
Funny, that.
