monday

1- Modesty is my best quality. – Jack Benny

2- …on the threshold of…
what do we assume? breakthrough?
of perhaps just leaving?

3- Why would you consider following
an egomaniac who must always be right
even at the cost of tens of thousands of lives?
Will you still follow when it’s someone you
know who is among the Coronavirus dead?

1- Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its grandfathers. – Lewis Mumford

2- what I meant and
what you read into it may
or may not agree

3- The more rallies Trump has
the more Trumpers get Covid
and can’t vote for him.
It’s the usual,
ego trumps caring for others.

1- Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. – Isaac Asimov

2- she said prism
but I heard prison and asked,
was it a light sentence?

3- Gee, what a surprise,
Trump lied about the seriousness
of Coronavirus to keep
us from panicking. No other
country in the world seemed
to panic once they knew what
they were up against. But then,
they didn’t have a Trump.

doesn’t mean it’s good or bad.
It’s an opinion!

3- So many American flags at Trump’s
RNC speech. Was it to remind us
we’re in America, not Russia? (Not yet.)

wednesday

1- I’m in favor of free expression provided it’s kept rigidly under control. – Alan Bennett

2- should I use common,
ordinary, or to impress,
quotidian?

3- Trump admits he lied
about the Coronavirus and
how serious it really was
but just to not panic people,
unlike the rest of the world
which called it what it was.
How to make a lie sound better.

tuesday

1- All schools, all colleges have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. – Mark Twain

2- it’s not what to take
that holds me here,
it’s what not to take.

3- With Trump it’s rage and
blame, anything to distract
from the economy and especially
the pandemic that he failed
so miserably in. Yep, he’s
the commander in chief in
an undeclared war and has lost,
in front of millions.
Are those victims also
suckers and fools?

also spell untied.

sunday

1- It’s my belief we developed language because of our deep inner need to complain. – Jane Wagner

2- the truth was there for
the telling till I safely
distracted myself.

3- Trump’s “suckers and losers”
are the people who made his
presidency possible. We answered
the call and served our country,
the same one that four time
deferral draft dodged used to
remain safely home in and is now
doing his best to divide and
hand over to Putin.

in my lifetime,
and I’m 76!
