And this is a good look too. This is a very good look. Really very very very good look – the vulgar mob boss squatting in sight of a field full of the graves of soldiers who died in the fight to defeat Nazism, and talking smack about the special counsel and the Speaker of the House. Very dignified, very impressive, very somber, very devoted to the public good. I don’t think.

Ok, but are you aware of the fact that Obama once wore A TAN SUIT?
Seriously. A. TAN. SUIT.
Also, one time he had a coffee cup in his hand when he saluted a Marine. I think that’s what caused Benghazi.
And he totally rocked that suit!
Yeah, I know tan suits haven’t really been a thing for years, but Obama actually looked great in his and it was nice to see a colour other than black or navy blue.
I bought a tan suit recently in belatedly solidarity. (Well, actually, I just needed a light-colored suit for summer.) But yeah, I thought Obama’s suit looked good, and it’s absurd to limit men’s business wear to varying shades of black/dark grey or navy.
Speaking of things not looking good (and I apologise for this rather tenuous segue but Misc. Room 2 is full), the Pope has finally realised that the Lord’s Prayer’s line ‘Lead us not into temptation’ doesn’t reflect well on his boss, so the Italian language version is changing to ‘Do not let us fall into temptation’.

Sure, I mean, all God did was create two creatures with curiosity, stick them in a garden with a fruit-bearing tree that they’re not allowed to eat from for no explained reason, and then allow his adversary access to the humans. I mean, how is an omniscient being to know what would happen next?
Screechy, you made me make a very unbecoming snort sound at work. Surely you could have foreseen that.

Rob, did Screechy lead you into temptation? CONFIRMED: SCREECHY IS THE DEVIL
Screechy @#6:
No. You missed out the thickest part of the plot. It’s all there in Genesis 3. The tree was the tree of Knowledge: knowledge of good and evil. And what intellectual domain covers that? Why, philosophy. And which lot claim the right to decide what’s good and what’s evil? The clerics, whose professional antecedents wrote the Bible, one of the more prominent among them being a bloke believed to have gone by the name of Moses.
So, in a way,one important skirmish in the long battle between philosophy and religion began, probably in ancient Babylonia some time after 1,600 BCE. And yet to be concluded.
