I HAVE A QUESTION: IS THE OPENING — TAKING DOWN REALLY — OF THE BORDERS, AN ATTEMPT TO CREATE NEW PANDEMIC PANIC?  New York State Confirms Polio Case, First Recorded Case Since 2013.

Just curious, really. I’m convinced attempts at such won’t work, because the Covidiocy was an example of Manuel Garcia O’Kelly’s (in Heinlein’s The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress) classification of jokes: “Funny only once.”

 

HOWEVER NOTE THAT HOLLYWOOD AND WHATEVER THE BRITS USE HAVE NO PROBLEM CASTING HISTORICAL EUROPEAN FIGURES AS BLACK:  It’s Called Acting, Dear Boy.

Which, in many ways is dumber than what the snow flake opera singer objected to.
