Our newsroom, every time we publish, stands briefly poised between two fortnights, one just past, and one to come. Two weeks ago, the calendar caused that transition to occur on Halloween, the day—or night—when the mundane rubs up against the mystical. Some subtle synergy between those cycles apparently induced a state of irrational editorial exuberance. For a brief, joyous moment, certain members of the staff were convinced that the nation was about to break out of its moral, political, and economic crash dive, and begin to level off; the Republic would soon be spared, before it augers in. A real-world event sparked this extravagant hope: on Halloween, our President held a 1920s-style, Great Gatsby-themed extravaganza, complete with scantily-clad dancers, at his lair, Mar-a-Lardo, even as tens of millions of Americans—many of them full-time workers; some of them active-duty military personnel—were staring hunger in the face because the Life of the Party, El Presidente himself, was refusing to tap emergency funding for SNAP benefits. With this… The Art of the Sleazy Deal
Perhaps the most lucrative office in the national government, next to the presidency itself, is the clerkship of the supreme court at Washington. It yields an annual income in fees of from $25,000 to $40,000. – New York Evening World [That would be $852,568 to $1,364,109 in today’s debased currency. – The Ed.] The New Hampshire Gazette, November 1, 1888 At Pittsburg, Pa., about the middle of October, Miss Virginia Knox, a young American woman of considerable wealth, was married to Count Di Montcalleri. The couple were expelled from a hotel in Paris on Oct. 29th., the “nobleman” having scandalized the other inmates of the house by beating his bride brutally, her screams arousing the whole house. Mrs. Dr. Strode, of Bernadotte, is the widest-awake,… Where the Money Is

–=≈=– Well, that was a hell of a fortnight, wasn’t it? But of course, they all are, these days. So we asked ourselves, “These days every fortnight is just another hellish spectacle.

“Thanks again, as always, for making the now really bad news somewhat easier to tolerate. The truth, which is now seldom spoken, and never spoken by our nation’s “Liar in Chief,” just keeps getting worse and worse. I am thankful for our still (for now, anyway) free press and late night television comedians’ rants posted on Youtube about the state of our country.”
