  • “Where are the grownups?’

    Where are the grownups asks this editorial in the Boston Globe. Jon http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2013/09/26/republicans-need-cruz-control/g5c4uTOziv08l51lCNtMKI/story.html https://rosamondpress.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/gone-with-the-lord-of-the-flies/ As this latest bout of budgetary brinksmanship besets Washington, this question occurs. Or rather, recurs: Where have all the GOP grown-ups gone? The GOP used to style itself the adult party. Is there really no congressional leader of sufficient stature and…

  • Marie de France is Fair Rosamond the Sleeping Beauty

    Above is an illustration from ‘Eliduc and Guilliadun’ by Marie of France. ‘Guildeluec Reviving Guilliadun’, may be the inspiration of Grimm’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’ who he named Rosamond. This led me to suspect that Marie of France is Joan Clifford, who was the paramour of King Henry de Anjou, Fair Rosamond. For the last two days…

  • “Love in the Western World” by Denis de Rougemont

    “De Rougemont introduces the “Tristan Myth” in the first book of Love in the Western World, a work that focuses upon the intellectual and cultural development of love and its function as a myth in the West.” Long ago I read that King Henry de Anjou of England built rooms at Woodstock that were connected…

  • Beauvau-Craon Du Temple de Rougemont

    Laure de Rougemont married Marc de Beauvau-Craon, and thus it is possible Virginia Hambley and I are kindred.

    I predicted this was coming! Jon http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/24/politics/shutdown-showdown/ Washington (CNN) — Republican Ted Cruz of Texas took to the Senate floor on Tuesday to discuss the shutdown debate in remarks that headed deep into the night — a dramatic step in defense of his high profile and controversial plan to prevent any funding for Obamacare. “I…

  • Drunk on Bullshit

    Ted Cruz and Bill Cornwell are bull-shitters. Bill is a loud mouthed drunk who came into my daughter’s life and took over. Heather Hanson told me her drunken lover will not answer for his disabled mother confined to a wheelchair because she is a “parasite” on society. Knowing my daughter and grandson, Tyler Hunt, for…

  • Dictator Cruz Expresses Himself
