My Particular Mirage

Saudi Arabia must be a wonderful place! I have seen incredible pictures of the sand.

Indeed, I frequently contemplate a particular mirage.

Does their great culture have theater? I am ignorant and empty headed, but perhaps I shall try to fill it with images of beautiful Saudi women, veiled, and kind. The Russian theater is apparently coming to town, but it is of little consequence to me, I will skip it. I am a fan of the surreal, but a scenario where the villain in a losing position dictates terms to the world is far too trite and contrived a premise even for me.

“What will the main thrust of the performance be?” I asked the wind as it blew about grains of sand. The wind predicted a yawning and dimwitted plea for the murderous regime to have some sanction relief, while keeping the land they have stolen. “Eye wateringly stupid,” the wind blew at me, “and a waste of time.”

The Saudi’s, I’m sure, will be impeccable hosts and facilitate this Russian mirage, I hope with tolerance as opposed to approval.

Further, I am troubled by tweeting, and tweeters. The President of the United States thumbed out, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

It is my sincere hope that the judiciary is a thing of iron, upon which Donald breaks that particular belief. And in truth, I don’t know if this man forged the anvil, or observed its creation, but I think of him now: “Tis the judge must tell men what is law, upon the hearing of the controversy.” Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan (1651).

Though it has done me no good, I remain an officer of the court. I know that a silver thread runs through the hearts of many people far better than I. I am confident they will ensure that “no man’s error becomes his own law.” (I stole that, too. Same guy.)

And who are the heroes best positioned to give the judiciary this opportunity? Why, a sight for sore eyes! My beloved Newshounds! Access be damned, let the normally well behaved friends of man, now growl with wolfish reawakenings! They know the true masters that they serve! The children.

A Triumvirate of Furies

O ur crow-eyed Illusionist hero has been stung by the glamour Image of Hottie before, and as a counter, casts a glamour of his own, Image of Impoverished Chimneysweep . Little does he know he is mistaken, and the woman is not a brigand in disguise. (You dope! It is the rain in your eyes!) As the woman leaned over the opened owner’s manual in the rain, she held her phone to illuminate the pages that she shielded once again. She heard steps from afar. Turning from the disabled car, she saw a man approach.  “There seems to be some voodoo afoot, but it looks like you know what you are doing!” The curious man wore a coat full of soot, and he passed her without looking. She angrily looked down at the manual once more, as his footsteps clapped to Echo, and she tattled on him down the lane.  Now, Dear Reader, spoiled destiny demonstrates a characteristic of this hero's mechanics! All illusions have at least some blur , most obvious in the recollection of their memory . This il...

The Trump Lump

I think of support for Trump as an artificial thing. A big bag of gas, a nation sized bag. When fully inflated by the attention economy, superfluous issues, such as those affecting superheroes, seem to outweigh the legitimate operation of government. But as it deflates, it becomes merely a lump. The Trump Lump. People make up the Trump Lump. And although they can check out anytime they like, some will never leave. Those folks I think of as End Lump. Some good people will be trapped in there, just as certainly as there are among the gentle ancient people who, to this day, declare fealty to the Austrian Painter, in their dementia. Early Lumpers are Americans who come to their senses early in the cycle. There is no prize for leaving the Trump Lump at any given time. However, if you leave the Trump Lump, you may always point and laugh at the Lump. That might feel great, but it does the unborn children of the United States no good. Everything that we do, good or evil, now affects...

Truesight

“S hhhhh! You fool, that is no nun! Close your eyes, and think upon the memory of your last vision of it, er her!” the small old man whispered fiercely. “I see her,” his companion said, “in my mind’s eye.” And then, “The face and one arm is smeary.” “The blur , now look at the nun’s face again, and look away and remember, is it still blurred ?” The young man poked his head around the corner and looked at the nun, he then retreated and covered his eyes with one hand . A sharp inhalation of breath, “By goodness, IT IS!” “The cantrip of Truesight : think and remember, blurs indicate illusions from memories where the immediate sense seems perfect in every way, at first blush.” “I will remember,” Viscotti replied quietly.         Please find the footnote above, read by me below!  The words are always my own!
