"I recorded today's Ramble at 3:30am, because I was wide awake in the middle of the night...but that's appropriate, because it was Fitzgerald who wrote that in the long dark night of the soul, it's always three o'clock in the morning..." #politics

"In Kherson now, I spent the day after the Oval Office fiasco inside, as I am ashamed. Soon, without U.S. supplies, Ukrainian air defense will not be able to stop the nightly barrage of missiles & drones. I am finishing this piece, listening to the explosions outside."

"Little Bill is no monarchist. He may be a patriot. But he is also a tyrant. He’s the Hammurabi of Big Whiskey, Draco in a Stetson. And while he can be just and honorable, the local laws are subject to his own caprices."
"To understand the true meaning, then, we must strip away the theological mumbo-jumbo. These are political texts, rooted in history—and they aren’t predictions about what will happen, but warnings about what might happen, if a nation’s leaders start behaving badly." @gregolear #literature #politics
