Looking forward to another great book!

That the latest Oval Office occupant is also (like his predecessor, and his, and his, and his) just going through the motions of going-through-the-motions, is getting more difficult to deny everyday, even for such recently-enthralled disciples as Mr. Robinson here.  Yet no one among them seems eager to “dig” into the “truth” of exactly why that’s true.

Could it be that the die is cast, it’s come-up “craps,” and there’s not a damned thing anybody, even the supposedly “most-powerful-man-in-the-world,” can do about it?  So he hits his marks and speaks his lines on-cue (just as they’ve all been doing all-along), because even with the “Global” theater burning-down around the empire, “the bloody show” must go on.

“....first as tragedy, then as farce.”
