Life imitates art. History repeats itself, first as farce, then as political debate. — The New Neo
WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2001-2022
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

I had forgotten about that one. Wow. They were way ahead of the curve.
BTW, How about a shout out to Cory “Sparticus” Booker:
“Look, civil rights is someplace to begin, but in the African American civil right community, another place to focus was to stop the lynching of African Americans. We do not talk enough about trans Americans, especially African American trans Americans and the incredibility high rates of murder now,” the New Jersey senator said.

You left out Cory “Sparticus” Booker’s Trans Moment:
“Look, civil rights is someplace to begin, but in the African American civil right community, another place to focus was to stop the lynching of African Americans. We do not talk enough about trans Americans, especially African American trans Americans and the incredibility high rates of murder now,” the New Jersey senator said.

I’m just wondering if we’re still allowed to laugh. Or do I have to lock the doors and shut the windows, lest some SJW walks by and exposes my lack of “woke.”
Years ago MPFC was all transgressive and liberal. Now, the same stuff is over the line for the truly woke liberal. Cleese is starting to sound like a sane moderate. Cat: eat your tail.
sorry about the double.
