"Boots in the casket," for example, would NOT be a useful device because that is a moral bridge too far even for politicians.

Just a reminder that "boots on the ground" is a political/military objectification. In the literary analysis biz we call it a chremamorphism, and the purpose is to dehumanize.

"Boots on the ground" only works as a device when there are actual feet in those boots holding up living soldiers.

So many narcissists competing for attention.

It's like planting tomatoes - I always jump the gun and bathe in regret.

The hubris. I'm guessing neither his wife nor God has forgiven him.

Phi-somethings frat party at the rock crusher. August, easily 105⁰. Lukewarm PGA punch. Gap Band so loud and bassed out my circulatory system altered.

Wow.

That's like one of those Twilight Zone/Night Gallery versions of hell.

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

Of course the guns were acquired legally. The suspect openly carried legally as well. All of that's on you, Texas.

That won't stop the locals and feds, though, from making sinister connections.

Takes me back to the old satanic panic days when there were devils, devils everywhere.

Hegseth touts military strength at Arkansas rocket motor facility Top officials, including Pete Hegseth and Gov. Sanders, visited Camden to thank L3Harris employees for strengthening America's defense manufacturing capabilities.

So look who visited Camden the day before bombing Iran. Just checking on the war supply chain.

At the beginning of this year, I found myself unexpectedly drawn to Melville, wanting to read beyond β€œMoby Dick.” So the stories from β€œThe Piazza Tales,” β€œBilly Budd,” and now β€œThe Confidence-Man,” and I think it’s the reader’s version of the trick knee presaging storms; you know before you know.

Knew about the others. The Iranian assassination "attempt" (vs a threat) Cotton mentioned was something entirely new to me.

"...the attempted assassination of President Trump" - what's Cotton talking about, here? Did I miss something?

"The president is starting to get pissed with Huckabee for interfering with his negotiation," said a person familiar with the matter. "And he hasn't forgotten that his daughter refused to endorse him in the last campaign."

Well, then.

Absolutely true, unless you were listening to KLAZeeeee...98. The song rotations were so predictable that fifty years later when I hear Hotel California I expect the next song to be The Boys are Back in Town.

The Other Red Hat (You'll like this one better)

February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If you’re a knitter, maybe you’ll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you aren’t, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
