Welp, Charles III just concluded his address at the Joint Session of Congress, to much applause and standing ovation. Nancy Pelosi was wildly enthusiastic, clapping enthusiastically as if she were a spry 50 year-old… and why shouldn’t she?

Charles III is a Demokrat.

He is an imbecile too, which I suspect is a distinction without a difference.

I am enjoying that link very much. After asking Moby Dick if oil is worth fighting for, and Catch 22 ifcthe price od steak is too high, I asked Huckleberry Finn.
” Is the current King Of England an idiot or an imposter? ”

I rather like his answer – it is right on point for current times:

The difference between an idiot and an imposter is meist always a matter of how much fancy clothing you wrap around the core. A man can be both at once, and usually is, because a man who thinks he has a right to rule others by birth is the biggest fool of the lot.

Most people want to be fooled because the truth is too lonesome to look at. They would rather bow to a fraud in a velvet coat than stand eye-to-eye with a plain man in rags.

It does not matter much if your King is a slow-witted soul or a clever liar. The result is the same for the person standing underneath his boot.

The world prefers a grand lie to a humble truth because a lie has more polish on it.

If you are looking for a man who is honest, you won’t find him sitting on a throne. You have to look for the person who is willing to get dirty and take no credit for it.

Are you following a leader because he represents what is right, or because he makes you feel safe in your own illusions?

I keep wanting to subscribe to Grok, but it seems to be for entertainment only. It won’t pay bills, analyze investments, monitor my garden robot, or anything substantial.
I think it’ll read books for you and provide a teenager’s insight though.

I tried it on Popski’s Private Army, an unusual WW II memoir. I asked it some “deep” questions, and got answers that seemed consistent with the author’s philosophy.

Not bad.
