Now that there is a ceasefire which gives Iran the upperhand, the realization is slowly sinking in that we should have fought until the last Hegseth. Only then would the righteous women of Iran been closer to freedom, democracy, and the burning of veils. All over the United States, America's little June Cleavers would have made scrumptious desserts with canned fruit, Kool Wip and flavoured gelatine to celebrate, and Christian fundies would have sung hosannas in giddy celebration. The problem is that none of the oligarchs would have gotten any richer. And without that happening, there's no real point to any of this, is there?
Oh wait. The ceasefire is already collapsing.
There's still money to be made.
Not being vested in any way in this, I firmly intend to ignore all of it while enjoying lunch today at a familiar place where most of the regulars are just regular folks talking about family and kids and plans for the weekend. In Cantonese. Some Mandarin speakers, but mostly American Cantonese. Not a single bloody Hegseth in sight.
After which I will enjoy the Spring sunlight while smoking my pipe.
No vegans, no religious nuts, no red baseball caps.
Very few insane people of any type.
I am getting too old to put up with stupid rightwing Anglos getting worked up and screaming. Or setting fire to the world and yelling that the Europeans should come to save our hash. Or the corrupt Israeli and American politicians trying to get even richer so that they can take it all with them when they deservedly kick the bucket. Or venal Arab monarchs shitting in their silk dishdashas because events are interfering with their camel races and enjoyment of sexual degeneracy, usually ably enabled by Putin's talking heads on Fox.
I've had a long day and I hate The Eagles, man.
