   I’ve always thought it was “Sunday donkey.”

   No pardoning any turkey whose character witnesses all work for Russia Today.

   I think Brooks is wrong, as usual. The majority of Americans do care; a fair percentage of them, though, are just too stunned to believe that their worst fear – that their elected representatives are getting their directions from Russia – is real. Their hope is that it’s all just a bad dream they can wake up from.

   An explanation of the 709 gravestone: in Austin (home of Sam Hurt) in the 1970s there was a group of cooks and artists who noticed that whenever they happened to look at a clock where they worked, it would be 7:09. With so much consistency they adopted the number for themselves, creating a kind of “709 Club.” The artists would incorporate the number into artwork – poster and flyer art especially. I worked at an Austin diner in 1990 that was built from the ground up in which 709 was incorporated throughout the structure.

   I learned about all this in 1980 when several of the group discovered I was living at 709 West 11th St. and told me how special that was.

   Knowing many of this group myself, I noticed a pattern of misfortune connecting the number with different members of the group; I began to regard the number as a curse and wanted nothing to do with it. While I was living at 709 West 11th, I was threatened with a gun by a guy whose girlfriend I was “dating”; I left Austin for 4 months to escape, and returned to live at a different address. The whole building was torn down two years later. Other people who’d embraced the number developed serious health or relationship problems.

   Glad to see 709 is officially dead.

   Or paranoid. Or depressed.

   Excellent! AOC was right to point out that these are internment/concentration camps. The head of the border patrol was on cable news two days ago trying to give the impression these were like summer camps to the children; he stumbled,though, when he was describing their lovely conditions: “I was visiting one of the facilities and saw several children outside their cell playing and eating chocolate…” These are PRISONS!

    Amazing! That gun has turned a human being into Attorney General William Barr!
