WAPO CANCELED

I had taken a holiday from writing about the presidential election because I could not think of anything to say that others hadn't said better, clearer, and to a much wider audience. It all seems so clear to me, and yet 50% of my fellow citizens seem prepared to elect as their president an unhinged grifting criminal authoritarian.

I'm not a subscriber of the L.A. Times, and so I could not cancel my subscription. I was, until a couple of hours ago, a subscriber of the Washington Post, but no more. 

I don't kid myself. Jeff Bezos is a multi-billionaire, and he won't miss my few dollars, but I will miss the Washington Post. What’s more important, Bezos’s veto of his editorial board’s decision to endorse Harris is as scary as Trump’s explicit threats to veto our Constitution. The Nazi-creep has begun in earnest. I feel the walls starting to crumble around us.

So I have put out my lawn sign, sent in my money to Kamala, will vote on November 5, and then wring my hands for the following 72 hours.

I am not a religious person, but if there is a God, now is the time for her to do her job:

As we learned to sing in the first grade: 

“God bless America, land that I love, … my home sweet home.”

A bientot.
