I've been distracted with numerous matters of consequence for the past few weeks, as sometimes happens, but I have not abandoned my Whirled. As the holiday most folks in the US celebrate as Thanksgiving winds down, I know I have a lot to be thankful for, not the least of which is the defeat of #NotMyPresident Donald John Trump.
This is
hardly a neat and tidy ending; as I like to say on this blog, in
politix, as in Scamworld, there are no neat and tidy endings.
Apart from Trump's obstinate unwillingness to concede, and his
ludicrous but potentially dangerous legal battles to overturn the
election results, Trumpism has left a big ugly stain on America (and the world, for that matter). Even so, I have more
hope than I've had in a long, long time for some promising new
beginnings.
At any rate, I will be back soon: I haven't
forgotten my commitments. I hope your holiday, if you celebrated
it, was as good as a holiday could possibly have been in this
horrid train wreck of a year. If you are grieving for lost loved
ones, I wish you peace and strength and comfort.
May there be better times ahead.
