Monday. Storm approaching. Clocks off an hour. March madness. Alternative facts inevitably – if you believe in science – create an alternative reality. That’s the nature of propaganda. Bernie Madoff’s sentence commuted? To be named to head Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). That’s just a rumor. Billionaires nicknamed The Bailout King and the other The Foreclosure…

Do what thy manhood bids thee do, From none but self expect applause; He noblest lives and noblest dies Who makes and keeps his self-made laws. – Sir Richard Francis Burton.

Anaya, Bless Me, Ultima, 1972 The old man had…
