A continuing saga of fanciful claims
Readers who come to the conclusions that certain confused writers – at least two of them – entertain us with tales big and small, outrageous and outlandish, and fantastically fanciful in the absence of anything better to do, may well be correct.
The latest “grassy knoll” effort on Saturday exemplifies these meanderings. Moreover, when frequently exposed for being the charlatans and mountebanks that they are, they resort to crude language as befits the archetypal laptop SAS.
Putting this into relevant context, the world’s largest and most powerful economy, the US, is now apparently a “banana republic”; a lost wasteland of squandered dreams; a crumbling imperium; and a land perennially beset by “hidden forces” who are out to get us.
We could of course take these swivel-eyed conspiratorial musings a stage further; has the aforementioned author of his own Saturday misfortunes missed a point? For example, why not educate us with his thoughts on the following: did we really not go to the moon, or did Neil Armstrong really see aliens watching him from the rim of that crater in the Sea of Tranquility? It can’t be both, and I would love to read our intrepid writer’s views on this most vexing of questions.
