Some things ya just gotta share.....

After some hundreds of pages of Edmund Morris's "Colonel
Roosevelt" (it's impossible to tell just how many on this stupid
Kindle) we come to the inevitable denouement. Teddy has died and been
buried.

Morris says, "Given the poignancy of his sufferings over the last
year, a considerable minority of Roosevelt-haters elected to keep
their opinions private for the time being. Even H.L. Mencken reserved
fire. 'The man was a liar, a braggart, a bully, and a fraud,' he
wrote a friend. 'But let us not speak evil of the dead.'"

Nearly stupefying.

Cluelessness on a scale hitherto encountered only here, in these
pages.....or sardonic wit worthy of Twain, Wilde
or.....yes.....Mencken.

Either way, nearly stupefying.
