And Hold Their Manhoods Cheap

HMS Agincourt would not have bothered the French in the slightest. Any of them who were aware of the decision to change her name will be laughing themselves silly, and rightly so. But the Scots were at Agincourt on the French side. And the English did lose the Hundred Years' War; the King of England is not also King of France. These things are not so much a tribute to history as a tribute to Shakespeare. Heaven knows what he would have made of what this blessed plot, this earth, this realm had become. Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks.

Not that others have fallen any less far. That Joe Biden would never have tried to impose tariffs on Colombian exports to the United States was because Hunter would have been able to explain the problem to him. The Academy Award for Best Actress is going to be given to Karla Sofía Gascón, who is a man. Then the fashionable women might finally get the message, but I doubt it. Emilia Pérez is probably going to be given Best Picture as a dig at Donald Trump's policy towards drug cartels no less than anything else. But Trump has pardoned Ross Ulbricht. Is it just that the German Mob dislikes competition? And Trump has declassified the files relating to the Kennedys and to Martin Luther King, but pointedly not the ones relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
