Oh, and yeah: we got it right here at the HORN a lonnnnnng time ago. The virus was burning in Wuhan as early as August, like we discussed. Meanwhile, the DC National Guard got the ‘Rona while they were curb-stomping peaceful protesters. Hi, Goddess of Irony! I promise you a prime rubber chicken sacrificed at Midnight. Hey! Who do you reckon dropped the dime on George Floyd? How do you reckon they’re sleeping these days? “I could be bounded in a nutshell and call myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I had bad dreams.”

Lordy! Get out the waders! The morans are thick and deep. Let’s start with a pair of war criminals, shall we? Suddenly, they were the toast of the Sunday TV glitterati. It’s like the slaughter of Iraq never happened.
