   Reminds me of when I went to the local art museum. I passed a doorway that was roped off and glanced into what appeared to be an empty room. I asked the nearby guard/guide if he knew when they were going to install a new display (there was a name plaque by the door). He pointed out a number of piles of colored sand on the floor and said “That’s it!” Then he gave me a “h*ll if I know why that’s art” look.

   My first thought.

   One of my grand nieces home schools her three sons. I stopped by her house one day to drop off some things that belonged to my sister (my grand niece’s grandma) shortly after she passed away and spent a good thirty to forty-five minutes discussing Shakespeare with her oldest. He was eight or nine years old. About the best one of my grand nephews could do was talk about the Harry Potter books (which I’ve never read or watched the movies). He was a junior in high school.

   What about those of us who don’t think MAGA supporters are stupid? We just accept the fact they are and therefore know it?

   Reminds me of a coworker at a former job I had who asked what PR meant. When I said public relations they had a puzzled look. They seemed to understand when I said “It’s those people who wrap t2rds in tin foil and convince you they’re silver nuggets.”

   I agree. Most people would probably find at least 1/4th of the furnishings in my house unsightly if not outright ugly, but its functional and this grumpy old penny-pinching bachelor doesn’t care my home would never make a feature in some magazine like “Home Beautiful”.

   Of course none of that actually happened. Next you’ll be saying foreigners are eating their neighbors cats and dogs. Do you get your “facts” directly from the HDIC and his minions. (Thanks to “dadlivonia” for the new abbreviation to increase my vocabulary.)

   There was a theory proposed by French sociologist Antoine Buéno about fifteen years ago that the Smurfs are an allegory of Nazism and Communism. Buéno also addressed the allegation that Peyo, the creator of the Smurfs, had the idea of a black fly that would sting a Smurf and cause their skin to become “jet black”. In addition the victim was reduced to a primitive and became a complete moron.

    Until several years ago there was a rye with caraway seeds Triscuit some friends, family members and I thought were the best flavor. Great with a variety of dips, cheeses and cold cuts. Even on their own. They are no longer made. (IIRC they were discontinued when Nabisco sold the rights to another company around 2010.)
