Strange to note, talking to Phil t'other day...

Not often that, in my judgement, his relative youth and Europeanized point de vue are impeding or misleading him--but, in his (relatively high pitched) pother about how the whore-media are not making a fuss about Biden's sometime sexual peccadilloes, he sounds, somewhat defiantly (to my avuncular ear), like a young modern believer. Believers believe that there is something, about mature or late adolescent male erect penises, which if they are thrust unwantedly into the hands, or against the body of an unsuspecting, virginal girl, will damage that girl, and cause her to seek therapy, to undo or alleviate the damage it's done her, and the intense psychological pain it's caused her--to have felt them, in her innocence, thrust upon her--for the rest of her goddamned life.
