We take it as read that Joe Biden will be sworn in on 20 January. We can't decide if writing that all is lost is passé or writing calm down, the pendulum shall swing is passé. As far as Georgia goes the pendulum swings there for us on two issues. First, who will win. Second, maybe it's time to stick it to the GOP? Our best answer is that we should wait till the 2022 primaries to screw them. But then one hears Sonny Purdue talking about deals with Biden.
We will let reader(s) know when it's time to swim out past the breakers and watch the world die.
The Israeli political subterfuge continues and the government there will soon fall. Remember, Blue and White head Benny Gantz screwed his party by taking his ten MKs and joining Bibi in exchange for a rotational PM gig in which he would take the office in 18 months. As if he thought Netanyahu wouldn't find a way to implode the government himself and force and election. Sap. Polls show things are...just about like the last four (4!) elections. Only the opposition is deeply divided. Naftali Bennett's Yamina comes in a strong second with 23 seats. Yamina is more a secularist party, but very strong on defence. We could see voting Yamina one day. But for now, Bibi is the once and future PM.
In London, between failed negotiations, his drive to eliminate gas cars and lockdown fetishes, an empty cab pulled up to the Palace and Boris Johnson got out. Elect Labour, I don't give a fuck.
For about two weeks our feet have felt fine. We went for a walk yesterday and this morning our feet feel like we went for a walk yesterday.
On to the things.
The Great Nuclear War of 1975 is 100,000 words and counting. We're going to spend the weekend going over a post-winter chapter upon which we haven't laid eyes in months. We've talked to several reader(s) and you people really want this to be a one-off book. Were we to break it up into three novels, the first two would come out simultaneous or near simultaneous like. We'll see. We love the structure of our third proposed novel.
We did nothing on The Final Storm.
This week we did some great research for World War 1990: Saddam's War. We worked on a few scenes, one in Tehran, one in Washington showing the Quayle camp wondering what to do. We think Saddam's War takes place in the autumn of 1991. That gives us a chance to write about political intrigue, the primaries, and lay the ground work for Election '92, the final novel in the World War 1990 universe. Or is it?
We get Nederland back on Monday, 12/15, people.
