I was recently reminded that in August 1974, Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency of the United States of America. Even though we were grateful for his departure, it was still shocking. (His vice president had beeen run out of office for serious crimes also) I mean, we would never see something this bad again, right? In the past few days we have learned from news reports that the man who left he White House in 2020, may have committed one of the worst breaches of security in the history of this country. We don’t know and may never know how far this extends. Who among this country’s allies have also been compromised by this? In the meantime, we’ve been getting ample proof that the Republican party considers partisan politics above the rule of law. They seem to think that if they threaten to tear the country apart, the rest of us are going to back down and let them get away with this shit. To paraphrase the Chinese curse, we live in interesting times.And now for something completely different- Mono Lake in October of 2014 or 15, I've lost track.
