Apocalypse When?

Maybe it's global warming; maybe it's those mosquitos or the collapse of bee colonies; maybe it's Brexit, or maybe it's the election of Donald Trump, but apocalypse is in the air -- again.

The historical Jesus is generally described as an apocalyptic prophet who preached that the end -- the day of judgement -- was very near and all should be ready.  A couple thousand years later, we are still waiting. Those four horses we've been expecting -- self-driving electric vehicles instead?

Another Tweet From Our So-Called President

First, let me say I wish I could identify what follows as fiction.  That's what this blog is supposed to be about, right?  But real life intrudes.

As most if not all readers already know, a federal judge appointed by former president George W. Bush, a Republican, and confirmed by the Senate without opposition, issued an order that has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's recent ban on entry into the U.S. by citizens of certain countries.

Or perhaps we should more accurately refer to him as "so-called President Trump."
