the debbil an' donnie trump

most retelling of the faust tale end happily. a great lawyer argues the case before a jury of the damned, or the incredible musical duel with the devil.

as part of my research for my new musical version of "the debbil an' Donnie trump" I wanted to get back closer to the original so I reread geothe. in german, and side by side in English translation. there is something I had missed in that classic comic I did the book report on in high school.



so anyway, my little musical seems to have an ambivalent ending. of course guliani gets to argue the case before andy Warhol and his gang at the studio 54 vip bar, not only does the disco ball reach full rotation as trump and mephestopheles spin the disco vinyl, but trump can dance out to curtain with a much younger version of gwen verdon

btw, wasn't "damn yankees" Nugent's band?

the "citizen" question on the census

aren't they really going to find that those agricultural counties, the red counties, are full of non citizens. this might shift more congressional districts to the urban centers.

is climate change humanity's #1 crisis?

before you answer, consider that the codes which launch mutually assured destruction are controlled by trump.

game of thrones rant w/ spoiler

that's it? all the great warriors. witches, pirates, and sinister politicians are dead? the guy who was resurrected from the dead save the world is exiled back to guarding a freaking wall against a zombie army that was totally destroyed weeks ago?

but just a word about the new king ..... his brand new grace has done nothing since episode one except get pushed out of a window. maybe he gets driven around in a wheel barrow and has a few surreal nightmares. great. is the moral of the story "don't kill thouands of innocent people?" i knew that before this show started.

got : who is gonna die tonight?

tyrion, sam, and dragonmom seem safe enough.

john snow, i don't know, dragonmom seems like the old girl friend who slashed my tires and broke my headlights and hell, i wasn't even related to her.

could any of the people who died last week come back. the mountain seems like a good candidate.

could bran possibly warg into drogon and barbeque dragonmom?

brienne seems ready for a tragic death. what a great character!
