Take out the clowns
We always knew billionaires ran the U.S. government. Now it's just more open.
The U.S. election hangover is hanging on a little longer than I was hoping. I never thought I’d say this, but it is already looking worse than I had feared. Trump’s cabinet picks are a clown show, and I mean Pennywise in Stephen King’s It, not Ronald Macdonald at Trump’s favourite fast-food joint.
So I am taking another week off to try to realign my chi.
See you (hopefully) next week.
Cheers
Peter
My chi is all over the place. Rest up!
Indeed: o tempora, o mores.
Panem et circenses too: last night I was playing a gig in the old railway hotel in Alexandria, ON, and there was UFC fighting on a big-ass TV all night: they even had the sound cranked on it during our break, including shouting-out Tulsi Gabbard who was in attendance. The screen was on the wall perpendicular to the stage on my side, so it wasn't directly too distracting (except for seeing the drinkers staring at it instead of us or each other...) However, the fiddler on the other end of the stage had it right in his sight line, and said the camera kept showing Trump & Musk in the front row, cheering and even giving advice to the fighters.
