Tuesday Post Without Title

Good morning Stroock's Books reader(s), you brave few. 

War of the ants...we saw a few live ants yesterday and spotted several carcasses this morning. We've passed the tipping point, we're sure. It's time to address Congress, and assure that august body that victory is near.

Let's recap the political things, shall we? The US Supreme Court struck down race based congressional districts. The Virginia Supreme Court voided the state's gerrymander referendum. Various red states are furiously gerrymandering their congressional maps. And Dems are acting with the grace and circumspection which we've come to expect from the party of Jefferson Davis. It's been a great week or ten days for the GOP. Enjoy it. This blog warns reader(s) against Victory Disease.* 

What Will's watching...Borat. Saw it on Netflix last night. We have to admit, the Jewish jokes aren't as funny as they were in 2006, when they seemed so ridiculous they were farcical. 

Meanwhile terrorists carried out an anti-Jewish pogrom in Brooklyn last night and the New York Times' Nick Kristoff is blood-libeling the Jews. 

Times have changed and the eye twitches. 

DOGE report.

We read through and greatly improved the Contra/FDN prep chapter in which the reader is introduced to several Contra Comandantes in scenes where Contra commandos are marching over the mountains into the Jalapa River Valley and such. Readers meet US air liaisons. One was born in Nicaragua and is returning home. Another is a Spanish fluent Texan wearing a tan vest, mustache, and aviator sunglasses. Gen-X readers may recognize this action figure. 

In reading through the Contra/FDN prep chapter we added a few scenes. 

Honestly this is scutwork, and it will be several more readthroughs before we are truly happy.
