Procrustes Stretched
Dante's Manifesto
Garrison starts off with:
The debate was a joke, a cruel joke. Trump was the drunk in the corner saloon, sailing on vodka martinis, and Biden was a serious man attempting to frame an argument in response to unreality and in so doing he searched for the right words, as any normal person would, and so the journalists said, “TRUMP SHOWS ENERGY, BIDEN APPEARS HESITANT,” and suddenly working reporters gauge the popular mood and see Trump winning the night. This is silliness. “I am the greatest,” is a boxer’s brag. It’s nothing a president would ever say, it is unhinged. Muhammad Ali said it but he had to actually get in the ring and hit a man and be hit by him, risk having his brains scrambled, he couldn’t just raise a half-billion from friends to make himself famous even among ferrets and armadillos.
It's lighthearted reading. Please respect the forum.
The column: It's an opinion. Garrison is a well known radio personality, humorist, voice actor, author, and singer. He's well respected by most, admired by many, and accomplished hi his chosen field(s).
Ahh, the Manchester Union Leader has me immediately thinking of William Loeb III. If you do not know of either, I must question your knowledge of politics in America.
