First lesson, when recovering from a cold, Mandarin oranges are delicious -- and so are imported, dark-chocolate-covered cherries! (One of the first and, by an effort of will, only two of the second.)
I managed to get to the grocery today, the first time I have left the house since last Saturday.
Second lesson: Washington rarely gives you what you want. The Epstein Files were released today -- almost entirely redacted. Most of the blanked-for-declassification documents nuclear-weapons historian Alex Wellerstein unearths and FOIAs into the light have less blacked out on the page. Yes, I said it: you can find out more about the once Top Secret U. S. plans to nuke the Moon than about most of the men in nice suits featured in photos in the Epstein Files, their faces entirely elided.
It's sure nice the Great White Father in DC has managed to clear that up.
As others have pointed out, it's glaringly obvious that no one cares to hold men accountable when the only one to be in jail for this travesty is a woman. (Yeah, I know her experience in jail is no shining example.)
ReplyDeleteAnyone surprised by the redactions?
ReplyDeleteApparently, our betters must be protected for our own good.
ReplyDelete"Equal under the law" Ugh!
Raindrops and snowflakes- individually they don't do much. But get enough together and major things happen.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that this is going to satisfy enough people on both sides, nor will the usual decade old excuse litany work.
