Today I am putting on my Mad Alliterator hat to celebrate the penultimate day of the week. It seems to be a tradition for blogs to toss out loose threads on the day of Fri, so here are some non sequiturs. Speaking of Latin, did you know that the Arabic names for the days o’ the week are based on the sequential numbers 1 through 7? Seven sequential sequiturs.
PATRIOTISM, n.Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
-Ambrose Bierce
Only in America... can... I'm proud to be an...where at least...?
What corrupts absolutely? Macht macht es recht, oder? (Power makes it right, right?)
I glance askance as a perfect storm approaches and I shudder. A quick aside to my reader:
“Actually it looks like a great many storms are lining up and spreading out. But not to worry, climate change is real, but not as real as reality-TV. So put it on the back burner for now (ever). Slogan to accompany: “A miracle a day keeps climate change at bay.”
Halloween rescheduled this year to Election Day.
2016 to date: Native Americans lead the list of persons killed by the police.
At this moment there are twice as many chickens on the planet as homo sapiens. Details at your local ultra-mega-super market. A pop quiz: what do advertising and marketing have in common?
Answer to follow.
Thanks for reading

A nice bunch of non-sequiturs, Bill. [Anywhere else that would be an insult!] I can’t answer the pop quiz for fear of getting locked up. 😉

Hello and thank you Hariod, your kind word are gratefully accepted and appreciated. Loose threads do seem to accumulate during the week and it is good to read that I do not insult myself in the process of producing untoward sequiturs. And I do not wish to countenance my readers in the pokey.
