HL Mencken was prescient on the public’s embrace of fools and monsters. That Santos would rise from the fever swamp is not a surprise.

Rex,

Discernible and dangerous wave of disrespect for democracy(!) is a dark but definitely decisive description of the issue. I think it is time for me to start keeping a log of these gems.

Rex, this is Tom Carroll sending a comment via Nan’s signon. A few weeks ago, I stopped getting my link to your Saturday postings. I still get your new midweek postings, but not the standard Saturday ones. The problem started at about the time that my subscription renewed. SEFCU says that the renewal charge has cleared, but now I have to rely on Nan’s link to read your stuff. Help!

Hey, Tom & Nan --

Actually, I got THREE copies of Tom's message, and a separate one from Nan somewhere -- ah! to my email, I think. I checked the "back end" on Substack, and it directed me to a page that I'm supposed to send you to see if you can fix the problem from your end. So check this out, and if it doesn't yield results, let me know. Thanks for your perseverance! The place in Tucson looks amazing. But I can't believe you're leaving the Great Northeast.
