CALLING THIS BOOK INTELLECTUAL HORSESH*T IS BEING UNKIND TO EQUINE EXCRETA:  White Fragility.

THE PRESENTIST OBSESSION OF THOSE WHO INSIST ON JUDGING EVERYTHING BY PRESENT OPINIONS IS SECOND ONLY IN DESTRUCTIVE POWER TO THOSE WHO INSIST NO HUMAN, PREY TO THE FLAWS THAT ARE COMMON IN HUMANITY CAN BE HELD GREAT OR REVERED IN ANY FIELD:  Finding a connection between Agatha Christie (good) and the mob (bad).

What these people are actually doing is destroying cultural pedestals, not just statues. What they are doing is saying no one is worth unless they are automatons or saints.

WRITING (AND LIVING) IN THE YEAR OF THE JACKPOT:  A Bonfire of Vanities.

WHO IS AUTHORITARIAN AND CORRUPT:  WHO: Countries complaining about contact tracing are ‘lame’.

Also, I don’t complain about contact tracing. I go Professor Bernardo de la Paz on them. Our normal hangout is not making us sign in, but if they were…  Well…. Mr. Manuel Garcia O’Kelly and his wife Wyoming Knott would have enjoyed some Mexican tonight. And the best way to contact them would be the governor’s mansion.

Look, yeah, sure, if this were the Black Death contact tracing would have been essential. Five months ago. Now? it’s in the population, pretty much everywhere as study after study shows.  And if you’re going to contact trace you’d have to do it everywhere, including grocery stores, people talking in parking lots, etc.
This is just health theater. I have no patience for kabuki. And I’ve made it a point not to give my schedule away to all and sundry, due to some truly unpleasant experiences. Much less making our daft governor and his zany circle a present of my preferences in restaurants.

NOT MUCH IS BEING MADE OF THIS, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BLAME THE SPIKE IN CASES/DEATHS ON THE FACT YOU — YOU EVIL PERSON, YOU — REFUSED TO COWER UNDER THE BED UNTIL THE ELECTIONS. BUT THEY SLIPPED UP AND REPORTED IT, A WHILE BACK:   Coronavirus Jumps the Border, Overwhelming Hospitals in California.

Mr. President! Build that d*mn wall.
