Garrison,
Why is it that America has a Poet Laureate, but not a Humorist Emeritus? Can you think of a more essential, worthy task than bringing red and blue America together around a really funny joke? If established, would you consider serving? (I assume this would involve wearing a black robe with a honkable red nose and Groucho glasses …)
R. Lee Procter
Poet laureate is a very safe honor: nobody pays any attention to them. But a humorist would make fun of public servants and would likely gain an audience. Kings had royal jesters whose job was to amuse the sovereign, but in a democracy a comic is not so easily contained. GK
| MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2024 “The ashes placed on our head invite us to rediscover the secret of life. They tell us that as long as we continue to shield our hearts and hide ourselves behind a mask, to appear invincible, we will be empty and arid within. When, on the other hand, we have the courage to bow our heads in order to look within, we will discover the presence of God who loves us and has always loved us. At last those shields you have built for yourself will be shattered and you will be able to feel yourself loved with an eternal love.” Pope Francis |
