80th Nagasaki Day

The worst (most pointless, gratuitous, cruel) atrocities are those that somebody has a right to perpetrate.

Talking to Phil a day or two ago,

We expatiated on the Zelenski proposal to bomb Moscow. The Kremlin? The Church of Christ the Saviour? Why not St. Petersburg? Does Mr. Z. have any idea how deep the Moscow (and the St. Petersburg!) subway has been dug?

Who Killed JFK? (And RFK? And JFK Jr.?)

A lot of people. There was concurrence and consensus among a broad spectrum of the actual holders of power (Texas oil magnates, the Mob, the FBI, the incumbent Vice President) that the Kennedy Brothers had to be spectacularly, exemplarily murdered.

"Narcissism"

Silly pother. Stupid and ugly misappropriation of a rather subtle and exquisite Greek myth. Sure people are sometimes ridiculously and hurtfully self-absorbed and self-excusing--and some people more so and more of the time than others.

Putin, after a Pause, cleared his throat, and said distinctly: "Here is one of our Medium-Range Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. You Idiot."
