We watched that episode, and now I'm mad about it, too! I don't think the judges had any idea what most of the books they chose were about.

Also: I put together a book list for this piece, as I do sometimes when what I'm doing in one essay will be wildly inadequate for the topic.

Palestine and Israel
This is not a comprehensive list. But here are some places to start, to learn, to engage. Truth. Dignity.

Fortunately (?) he just delivered an extemporaneous monologue to me about how it had been decades since he'd eaten a corn dog and how he wanted to get into HEMA.

At the very least, you have to expect you'll be implicated in murder and/or have your furniture business's prospects ruined.

I mean, if they actually *want* to rescue you, they might do a good job. It all depends on what The Wilderness wants.
