11. An empty chair doesn’t blame Bush for its failures.
No idea if he did - but I like his idea in any case: spread this one around!
Just decided what I think was the deepest statement of Eastwood’s speech (and there were many deep ones): That the president should not be a lawyer. The president should not treat both sides of the issue equally, like a judge. He should know where he stands without undue sympathy for the other side, the side that is his enemy.
Brilliant.
Just finished le Carre’s A Most Wanted Man. Although the European leftists might have seen the Americans as the villains . . . wait, I’m not going to give the ending away. I love that quality in our best Americans: they know who the enemy is and they don’t do nuance.
Oh man——that is so good! Geeeez-lots of American ingenuity on display in this thread....great laughs at awesome ideas. Who knew the idea of an empty chair could result in the myriad of those shown here...fabulous
