Batteries not included -- or needed.
With apologies to Mickey
Spillane.
I don’t like writing in
the first person. But this “accomplishment” is worth a few hundred words.
I have become a Federal Government employee -- at least for a while.
So be careful, all you
ne’er do wells. I have your numbers.
I have been accepted as
something called a “field service supervisor” with the Census bureau.
This is contingent on my passing a background check and passing three days of
training in a local library known for its catering to illiterates.
Next week, I will be
fingerprinted. That’s nothing new. That happened several times
before. Two adoptions, press cards from two jurisdictions and a one-finger print for quick access to all the secrets of Bloomberg data, emails and
the computer programs that I needed to put my programs on the air.
The FBI probably also
has info on me from investigating my friend of many years Dave van Ronk.
Goodness! One time I actually had a drink with him. And FBI agents were
waiting in the men’s room of the bar where we were drinking.
I am not shuddering in
anticipation. I have no criminal record and I’m old.
Also, I have to pass the
training. And I will because I know how to fake academic reality, such as
there is of it and twist it to my secretly held nefarious purposes, which
include… nothing I can think of.
There I will be,
supervising the people who decide how big your congressional district is, who
is legal, who isn’t and whether you have had a child living with your sister in
Uruguay.
SHRAPNEL:
--So begins the trial of
the century. It has its own built-in jury tamperers. And remember... if
the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.
--The impeachment trial
is more like Casey Anthony than OJ Simpson. In Anthony’s case, no one could
prove an actual crime had been committed. If you listen to trump’s
defenders, there hasn’t been a crime here, either.
I’m Wes Richards. My
opinions are my own but you’re welcome to them. ®
I’m thinking of
returning to a thrice weekly format. Any opinions?
