Whitehorse - "I'm On Fire" -- my favorite cover. One of those times that the new cover beats the original by a mile!

What’s weird is of all the random things I could have read about last night, it was this

“Tibet’s Man on Fire
The story of 27-year-old Jamphel Yeshi, a Tibetan who burned himself in protest against Chinese policies in March 2012.

Yeah. Dems are typically huge cowards.

That’s why they’re so hostile toward the military.

He was wearing a sweatshirt that said “USA” and had a flag on it. Since his family quickly reported him missing he was likely known not to be well in the head. His name was Arnav Gupta and he was from Bethesda, Maryland.

He from C. S. Lewis and Animal House...His background is Indian. H attended a private school called Landon, his last post on his website Arnimania was “FEEL THE BURN”...he left an odd work of art that accompanies an April 2019 political writing that brings up a weak Obama , the Iran deal, the deep state, Brexit, the pope, and a number of current topics. It is almost like an opus from an irked guy leaving FR.

https://heavy.com/news/2019/05/arnav-gupta/

He wrote a strange poem that begins …

Memoirs of a Shadow President
By Arnav Gupta
Copyright 2019 Arnav Gupta
Smashwords Edition

How an inside joke between a group of Landon School Alumni
blossomed into the underpinnings of Elections 2016. From Ghostwriter himself. A CIA draftee reveals the background for some major elements in world history. This is the story of how just a few words and the exploitation of your data can forever change the trajectory of your life....

****

Funny but he seems to imply he, the author is a CIA draftee or recruit...or else is just writing from what he imagines is the perspective of one.

...Old boys at the Harvard Club complacently enroll
On the front lines we were expected to play a different role
Legacy admissions overshadowing meritocratic toll
Their jaws dropping on election night roll call...
