They're draining something.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

An obscure travel story from a UK tabloid. Not likely intended for US readers. There are few stories I've seen in which the author uses language likely to jar present-day readers. It is not gratuitous. But this is one of them. Heads up. To say more would be a spoiler. #ShortStory #AlgernonBlackwood

“In this age of enlightenment, the soothsayer and astrologer flourish. As science pushes forward, ignorance and superstition gallop around the flanks and bite science in the rear with big dark teeth.”

Dictionaries should be printed on parchment, using Hewlett Packard ink—which is made from unicorn blood, thus the most expensive ink imaginable—so it would become impractical for society to redefine words quite so frequently.

Complete honesty
is the privilege of:
the very young,
the very old,
the very rich,
the very poor,
& the raving mad.

And combinations thereof.

The rest of us,
to the extent
we feel we must,
filter.
