ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY DESPAIR AND RAGE

“Old white people are drowning in despair and rage.  Here’s how my father lost his mind — thanks to his cable diet.”  By Edwin Lyngar.  Maybe you know an enraged old white person in whom this could trigger a catharsis of self-recognition?

Guess what: it was all about the oil, after all.  (When we went in the only building we protected — not the museums or anything else — was the Oil  Ministry.)  I love the interviewee who notes that it would have been a lot cheaper — and destroyed far fewer lives (as in . . . none?) — just to buy the oil than to invade and occupy the country for 10 years.

If you have an hour this weekend, watch.  And if you have five minutes:

CELLOS

Jim Burt:  “Thanks for the towel dancers.  A hoot!  In return, I offer you 2Cellos.”

☞ Love this.  Have a great weekend.
