Three of them, while imparting little actual information, all began by saying how honored they were to take care of the president. Similar, but not as obsequious as the infamous first Cabinet meeting, it made me sick. The Hippocratic oath is in total opposition to Trumps willful lies throughout the pandemic. Willing to be of service I could understand, but "honored" in the knowledge that their patient is a mass murderer, that I don't buy.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613528527379198505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-20254769098724282052020-10-04T14:07:01.615-05:002020-10-04T14:07:01.615-05:00I wasn't all that surprised that he hadn't...I wasn't all that surprised that he hadn't gotten it. Some people are lucky, not everyone gets it. For a guy like him to become president, he's had a lot of good fortune in his life, despite how he's squandered much of it.<br /><br />I haven't been waiting for anything this weekend -- I've been trying to pay less attention to the political circus ever since Ginsburg died. Recent developments haven't helped in that regard, but I refuse to monitor the situation dutifully. Whatever happens, I don't need to find out the minute it does. It's a beautiful day out.<br /><br />What does amaze me is not the Maximum Leader's behavior. It's the other folks -- a bunch of smart, accomplished people, 6 months into a pandemic, who thought that having "passed" a quickie Covid test meant that they could pretend like they were in some pristine, pre-nightmare environment where they could enjoy some shrimp, hug, shake hands and not socially distance and it all would be swell. The President of Notre Dame, among them. Really -- that's freaking remarkable.<br /><br />I'm also worried about Biden. The timing of all this in relation to the debate is kinda ominous.

With its message of endurance. Enchanting.<br /><br />Some centuries earlier Francis Bacon observed that hope makes a good breakfast but a poor supper. It's getting close to supper time.<br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.com
