I'm so pleased that my translations of Nadja KΓΌchenmeister's gorgeous poems appear in THE OPPOSITE OF SEDUCTION, alongside so many others to explore and discover. Do read! More translation!

Bipartisan with what other party? They won’t work with you! We want Democrats with backbone.

I mean, casuistry *is* a big part of the tradition. I think ACB can probably make herself believe anything she wants to.

The fact that Alice Weidel – co-leader of Germany's far-right extremists – calls Hitler a "communist" and compares Nazis to "leftish Palestinian" antisemites in ONE sentence epitomizes exactly the type of distorted discourse the liberal center in Germany has helped normalize over the past 15 months.

PLAIN BEFORE THE GATE OF HELL (COWARDICE)
Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States
Outside the swarming mob of suited WASPs, We find Meek Merrick, Mr. Mitigator, Captain Captive-to-the-Managers, Stuck once in limbo by a Senate boss;
Then stuck in fear of partisan attack;
Now stuck all over his bare ass by thrusts The bicio tingers leaching blood hid pus;
Leave rivulets that fester and secrete
To feed the grubs and maggots at his feet.

PLAIN BEFORE THE GATE OF HELL (COWARDICE) Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States Outside the swarming mob of suited WASPs, We find Meek Merrick, Mr. Mitigator, Captain Captive-to-the-Managers, Stuck once in limbo by a Senate boss; Then stuck in fear of partisan attack; Now stuck all over his bare ass by thrusts The bicio tingers leaching blood hid pus; Leave rivulets that fester and secrete To feed the grubs and maggots at his feet.

A poem by the slanderous bard Leigh Bell for Merrick Garland, our coward-in-chief, who belongs not in hell but wandering around outside, lost, hesitant, indecisive

No answer to your question, sorry, but it’s an intriguing one. I’m curious about what you have in mind; could you elaborate a little? Thx!

So glad I found #9LC for even more lessons and carols, after many performances by my small chorister here in Seattle this month.

How late will the Seattle picketers be there? My teen and I want to come out and support you.

They are completely clueless. No one even understands what a picket line is. (We’re in Phinney, I’m considering taking my teen to the Pike St store this afternoon to help and learn.)
