Far more than an extremely talented musician, he had a genius level intellect. He appeared before Congress twice and acquitted himself admirably. His interview on the Dick Cavet show was must see TV.

I don’t know what the acronym is for but I dream rather lucidly also. I was just wondering if you have some that recur. I do and they’re mostly the same but they also have slight changes that make no sense. Mine are usually populated with people from my past in situations that never happened.

I doubt if he has even read or looked at any of the executive orders, AKA royal edicts, that he has (docu)signed in the last year. They prop him up to hold them for us to see and that’s the extent of his involvement.

I had the great pleasure of watching them on the lake I lived close to in Maine. Once at work a loon landed in a huge puddle. They need deep water to get into the air and they are incapable of walking on land as their legs are so far back on their bodies. We called the warden’s to come for it.

He’s chomping at the bit to take his place is how I read this. Vance is so insincere when he talks that it’s as if it was printed on his forehead. How authoring a book full of lies about his upbringing led him to these lofty heights is beyond a mystery, it’s ludicrous.
