My contest

The portrait of President Biden in the White House presidential gallery was replaced by an autopen. This inane and petty act of disrespect raises an interesting question.

When a Democrat moves into the White House on January 2029, what should they put up as the portrait of the current inhabitant? I am thinking we could have a contest.

Is there some image that would truly convey the magnitude of what has been done to our country and to our world in the span since the most recent presidential election? Although I can see a problem.

Any image that would be even vaguely accurate would probably be unsuitable for public viewing. There are good reasons that we have laws in our country against public obscenity.

A new beginning

I know that it is just an arbitrary division on a calendar, but the first day of the month always feels to me like a new beginning. It’s time to turn the page, to start anew, to erase that old whiteboard and get some fresh dry erase markers.

Or maybe just a time to realize that you need better metaphors. 🙂

In any case, happy October 1 everyone!
