Just a wannabe who wishes he was.
Scared of what the future may hold, but convinced that we are better than what may be.
My recent book: "Pedro Páramo” by Juan Rulfo. If it was good enough for Gabo, it’s good enough for me.
A Ballroom Haiku

Golden gaudiness
Won't benefit the people.
Tear it the fuck down!

Here are two questions for y'all:
1. Who asked for a ballroom in the first place?
2. Should the ballroom be torn down, when sanity is restored to the White House?
Bonus question:
Should the Trump family be charged to remove the ballroom and restore the White House?

What?! Now Watergate was a hoax too?

Laszlo Krasznohorkai or Gerard Murnanes? To be honest, I think this could be Pynchon’s year. His newest book, Shadow Ticket, just came out today, and God only knows, he is America’s greatest living writer. And he is pushing 90, so this could be his last chance.

Remarkable how the Rose Garden looks more like the patio of an Olive Garden.

All that is missing is a gold-plated pole for Melania to dance on.

Beasts of every land and clime,
Harken to my joyful tidings

The only way the Russians will give him Leningrad is if he gives them Constantinople.

Good to see some honest advertising by the government.

We are caught in the fascinating juncture of quantum physics (pretend like I know what it is) and geopolitics. Khamenei’s bunker has been hit, but is he dead or alive… or both. I call it Schrödinger’s Khamenei.

This morning in downtown Chattanooga. No police in sight, no National Guards, and no Marines in uniform, just lots and lots of everyday people, denouncing the caprices of a wannabe dictator. It was a good day.

I can still remember reading this book 40 years ago. Rest in peace Edmund White (who died on Tuesday) and thank you.
