Happy Bonfire Night, British friends! Enjoy burning an effigy of a totally innocent man. Yeah, that’s my theory. It was a false flag. James I was in a situation similar to George W. Bush in 2001. Trying to follow on the heels of a popular leader, and seen by the public as weak and ineffectual, he needed a scapegoat and he needed to look like a man of action.
Also, he wanted to prove he was tough on religious extremists, and sell a lot of his bibles.
He didn’t even have to block an investigation, because this was back before investigations had been invented.
We’ll never be able to prove that now, so King James got away with it. Or maybe he’s totally innocent, pay no attention to me.
Of course, I am hideously disappointed with the mid-term election results from the U.S. Me and every other liberal minded person.
On the bright side, Oregon and D.C. voted to legalize pot. If California gets its shit together, that’s the whole west coast.
I’m glad I had a couple of classes to teach, busy work to keep the depression at bay. My 1st class canceled, but I didn’t realize until I’d been sitting in his office waiting for 15 minutes. So, I had lots of time to get to the school where I teach on Wednesdays, two 9th grade classes and one group of 8th graders. I stopped for breakfast at McDonald’s and headed over.
There was a weird vibe. The front door was locked, which it isn’t usually. When I got to the class, there was still a class going on even though I was scheduled to start in 2 minutes – or so I thought, I was getting my Wednesday and Thursday start times mixed up.
I played “Stump the Teacher,” which I think has as much educational value as anything, and it’s fun so it makes the class go easy.
Finished reading “Zanesville” an extremely bizarre book by Kris Saknussem. Now I have to find something new on Kindle, to while away the hours on public transportation.
That’s about it for tonight. Life goes on.
