Editor’s Note: There is some stuff going on all around us that is extremely interesting, and while tinged with some of the appurtenances of the old United States, seems like something altogether new. It will be fun to see it unfold, and naturally the entire editorial slate was summoned for critical theory indoctrination and the […]

Well, we are doubling down on some crazy stuff this week. A look at the number of extra-constitutional decrees from the Oval Office is interesting. One positive note, President Biden seems to be able to perform on camera, which is an improvement from his description by opponents as being in cognitive decline. Of course, the […]

It is cool living in these times. There is excitement in the air. I thought we had seen it all- generally good economic times, fending off international threats with fair success. The air was cleaner than it was in our youth. We were free to do just about anything legal. Not a perfect system, since […]

The snow came like they said it would. Prediction was a little off, of course. The nice lady in the red dress said it would be “one o’clock.” I had to do some presumptive work on that one, since she could have meant tomorrow after lunch or that tiny little hour in the darkness while […]

I got all wound up last night after reading the article in what used to be Time Magazine by a journalist named Mollie Ball. She enthused at length about the people who saved the Election. They saved it by…well, you know. I must have been enthused with excitement about the unity showed by the AFL-CIO […]

Bryce Update (Bryce Resort reported some Virginia ‘powder’ snow this week.) Editor’s Note: Socotra LLC is not delving into real estate, nor speculation.

Another interesting week and ripples swirl on the exposed part of the Swamp. Retired General Austin has taken his post as Secretary of Defense. His first decree was to announce a “60 Day Stand Down” for DoD to ensure the new Administration’s priorities are implemented across the Department, including the spooky parts. There are some […]

The Strand Hotel, Yangon “It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.” – Aung San Suu Kyi Editor’s Note: There is another challenge to the New Administration in Washington, which is a […]

It is a noun, you know? Some would use it in the traditional English manner to describe a second crop species, also known as a “rowen,” according to our pals at Merriam-Webster. We watched Punxsutawney Phil from his lair atop Gobblers Knob this morning. His handlers say the first cut on our lawn rowen is […]

I am sure you have seen the meme that circulated wildly after the Inauguration on 20 January. Bernie, the benevolent socialist, attended the ceremony in mask and bright knitted mittens. He lent his iconic views of a new socialist America in his attire, which featured sensible warmth, knitted mittens and a hidden smile. We think. […]
