What the 400 Americans who cared saw when they watched Biden “address the nation without questions.” yesterday:
What was outside the frame:
Beyond the Frame
WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2001-2022
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
by Shel Silverstein
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people
march:
“Where to? what next?”
— Carl Sandberg

The Potempkin Candidate.
Jeez, shouldn’t that have been filmed on a SOFTBALL field?
So business is so bad in Delaware that hangars with 100-ton overhead hoists are sitting empty and waiting for a faux candidate/faux news conference telecast?
Hazel am, that was Pittsburgh.
Gazelam not Hazel am. Spellcheck, of course.
Right you are Bandmeeting. My mistake; here’s take 2:

Hoist with his lone retard.
GAZELAM, they’re sitting like that all over the entire country.
