So Much To Read That One Might Poop For E’ermore

This is about rivers and walls and Udalls. FoTotD Nick Paumgarten wrote it, and doesn’t include any Dead references at all, even thought there’s maybe a million spots where he could have done so. I don’t know whether I’m impressed or disappointed.

Ezra Pound was a poet, and a traitor, and he pretended to know how to read Mandarin. Ezra also hated himself some Jews because, like I said, he was a poet. (All good poets are anti-Semites. Discuss.) After the war, he was too famous to execute so everyone pretended he was crazy for a decade or so, and then he was loosed to go to parties and dinners and be discussed. Tokyo Rose was convicted of treason and spent ten years in jail, but Ezra couldn’t be treated like that. The right schools and all, dontcha know.

Good gravy, it’s an article about the Grateful goshdarn Dead! They used to get the plug pulled on their shows a lot.

Don’t take anyone’s word on what’s in the James Comey memos; especially not Maggggggie Habbbbbbbberman at the lying, failing New York Times. Read ’em for yourself. (You should. They’re dry and sarcastic and, were they taking place in a country not ours, would be hilarious.)
