If you’re wondering when my next blog entries are coming, on
either of my blogs, be patient. I have a variety of things brewing, with one
mini-series I think you’ll really like; and a freelance work engagement has rather
taken my time and energy away from these projects to an extent. Meanwhile, I
know that being delayed in getting out blog entries can often means that they
have “time to brew” and get better for more deliberation and care put into
them.
But one thing that suffers in this situation is my ability
to make timely remarks on the current presidential campaign, especially on the
more eye-rolling-inspiring one of the candidates. But then I could ask, Does this
ongoing “historical process” really need me to make satirical remarks?
For a few weeks I had a good comical routine—which I could
have made a “preface” to one blog entry—to draw up about Donald Trump, based on
the idea he got elected and was “plying his typical trade” in the White House.
I pictured him stalking around like a third-rate “shop boss,” and his suddenly
barking into a room in the White House, “Pick up the pace, you layabouts! Don’t
think you’re indispensable! There are other people out there who want to work!!”
And one WH staffer could say to another, “Who’s he talking
to?”
The other: “The Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
Well, I guess reality beat me to this, with his remarks—not the
only ones in a larger “set” of things indicating his “qualifications” for being
Commander-in-Chief—about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama having turned the
U.S. military’s top generals to “rubble.”
