Kicked out of Hell for Lying, August 2nd, 2021.

Introduction

I'm aware of the fact that this is August and not November.

That means I really should put some qualifiers on what I write, thus demonstrating to all

interested parties that I'm a mellow sort of man with a sweet disposition and entirely

approachable, but there do come times, in the course of human events, when however mellow

a public commentator might be, he still has a solemn obligation to roll up his sleeves,

spit on his hands, throw his necktie if he's wearing one over his shoulder, and to hop

around while he types.

This and the technical parlance of the professional writing guild is called a rant.

That is what you are all about to get.

That is, if you give me permission, and these troubled times I think it only good manners

to check first.

If you might have a rant, I promise to really end if it starts to get awkward.

A giant meteor and other random analogies.

Suppose a giant meteor landed dead center on the CDC headquarters, I mean plums spang

on the top of it.

Suppose a number of the personnel there died and went to the bad place.

If such a thing were to happen, I'm starting to think that after about six months, a bunch

of them would be kicked out of Hell for lying.

Hey, everybody, Autumn is coming.
