The nation is a
fact, and a fact is not an absolute value. The
current events element of this card reports
the demise (and resurrection) of the congressional ethics committee.
I get to “ethics” after putting in my name and password;
definitions keep my words
from bleeding. DiCaprio kept acting after his hand was mutilated by a
knife. During the re-shoot, he asked for fake blood to replace his
own. On New Year's Eve the next president appeared on stage beside
Joey “No Socks” Cinque. Joey pumped his fists at the promised end of Obamacare. How's your health, Joey? Catching cold without your
socks on? Radhika wondered at the real
name for “wind sock”; Bryant insisted that the real name was
wind sock. Our friend isn't
a real Indian, despite his uncle, who hid his Indian blood by
pretending to be Injun Ed.
Who will take him into their circle? Can we be forgiven for making
ourselves something we are not, when
“to be” aligns blood with
feeling? Was
I less myself when I knew not to believe my thoughts? Or was that the
Irish in me?
