11/25/2022 IThanks for reading Politics, Letters, Persons! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. I’m actually watching the US play England in the World Cup (took that photo later) even though I don’t know the rules or understand the strategies—“counter-pressing” is the big thing, hello?—or care about the outcome of this or any other soccer game, er, match. Why would anyone in his right mind do this on Black Friday? Shouldn’t I be peering at the business press, looking for clues as to the market’s future, or combing the op-eds, finding reasons to shriek about the idiocy of the mainstream media (the execrable George Will comes to mind), or mourning the dead from three “mass shootings” in the last week, discovering new ways to loath the gun-totin’ Republicans in Congress?
Nice how you've positioned "Male Fantasies" above the TV set.
