Monday, Monday
Today’s blog has nothing to do with the Mamas and the Papas, I just needed a title for it.
Here’s a Believe It or Not headline about the Dem convention from foxnews.com: “Just-released vote tally shows over 1,000 delegates opposed party platform.” I guess it’s not radical enough.
Also from FN, the madness continues: “NYU student group demands Black-only student housing on campus.” What if a white group had proposed that?… And another: “California faculty union calls for free tuition for Black students, removal of campus police.”
Now they tell me, after I’ve substituted deep breathing for meds, also from FN: “Blood pressure medication may reduce coronavirus-related deaths, severity of illness.”
As if there wasn’t enough proof that there is little difference between Democrats and many Republicans, here’s more from an excerpt from a FN article: “More than two-dozen former Republican members of Congress threw their support behind a ‘Republicans for Biden’ effort being launched Monday by the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign.” $23 trillion in debt/deficit is not unilateral. It is manufactured by a swamp.
Somebody get Boris Johnson some hair gel:
Stop the presses! I spotted an Asian, male, sans mask. Until then it seemed the group was in 100% compliance. I don’t remember the last time any made a purchase at the floating book shop.
Yesterday a woman offered me three handbags she would have otherwise thrown away. They seemed really nice, so I accepted them, even though I had no idea if anyone would be interested, especially during the current climate. My thanks, and to Ira, who bought them for his wife, who is on her annual visit to Russia. Thanks also to the young woman who selected a romance novel, and to the middle age woman who purchased a Danielle Steel hardcover translated into Russian; and to the elderly one who went home with College Major Quizzes: 12 Easy Tests to Discover Which Programs Are Best by John Liptak, which I assume she got for a grandchild; and to the Frenchman, who I knew would jump on The First Man by Albert Camus, whose manuscript, according to the blurb, was “published thirty-five years after its discovery amid the wreckage of the car accident that killed Camus.”
And here’s a book that became available today:
