Q, I just cannot let this go.

St. Duck wrote a book that was banned by some Roman Emperor in the 4th(Century AD) and yet his message primarily dealt with the Virgin Death.

I mean, we already know that JC was born of a virgin but we are supposed to believe that he never used his junk.

Junks are sacred after all, at least according to St. Duck.

So I find your notation blasphemous.

(Is that a word?)

anyway, Roman Catholics cannot get divorced.

IT IS THE LAW

Actually my real name is Bartholomew Stark.

Following a terrible accident involving coke and Maryjane and some Dylan, I found the

Oh forget it.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN?

Well, that is the last word on that subject. Change the tenses and you got yourself an epitaph. I will no longer bother trying to describe the state of the POTUS. Maybe I should just go back to composing haikus and swinging my sabre in the backyard.

Charles Blow has a nice roundup today of ruminations by him and his colleagues on Trump compared with Roman history:

Senators Save the Empire

The title meme is part of the reason why I wasn't disturbed by the Trump kabuki of bringing the whole Senate on a bus to the White House for a briefing on North Korea, but rather was reassured that it was happening. Precisely because: Senators, even, or especially, Republican ones, got big egos too, They don't turn into putty by being acknowledged by the White House like lowly House Congresspersons often do.

All in the family, eh?

George Will @ WaPo: Trump has a dangerous disability

It is urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump’s inability to do either. This seems to be not a mere disinclination but a disability. It is not merely the result of intellectual sloth but of an untrained mind bereft of information and married to stratospheric self-confidence.

In February, acknowledging Black History Month, Trump said that “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice.” Because Trump is syntactically challenged, it was possible and tempting to see this not as a historical howler about a man who died 122 years ago, but as just another of Trump’s verbal fender benders, this one involving verb tenses.

Now, however, he has instructed us that Andrew Jackson was angry about the Civil War that began 16 years after Jackson’s death. Having, let us fancifully imagine, considered and found unconvincing William Seward’s 1858 judgment that the approaching Civil War was “an irrepressible conflict,” Trump says:

“People don’t realize, you know, the Civil War, if you think about it, why? People don’t ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?”

Library shelves groan beneath the weight of books asking questions about that war’s origins, so who, one wonders, are these “people” who don’t ask the questions that Trump evidently thinks have occurred to him uniquely? Presumably they are not the astute “lot of,” or at least “some,” people Trump referred to when speaking about his February address to a joint session of Congress: “A lot of people have said that, some people said it was the single best speech ever made in that chamber.” Which demotes Winston Churchill, among many others.

What is most alarming (and mortifying to the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated) is not that Trump has entered his eighth decade unscathed by even elementary knowledge about the nation’s history. As this column has said before, the problem isn’t that he does not know this or that, or that he does not know that he does not know this or that. Rather, the dangerous thing is that he does not know what it is to know something [....]

Ah Joan! Love it. This is a family blog so thought it better to leave out the love life. No second divorce yet so I got that going for me! Congrats on the new addition to the family!! xx
