When the stupid starts the grifting starts

Smart people have the brains, but stupid people have the balls

You can't overestimate the stupidity of the general public.

• Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye

Have I mentioned that Charles Bukowski is my spirit animal? And that the tavern bearing his name in Boston (which I inexplicably did not go to while I was there in 2019) is on my bucket list?

And that what I’m talking about here has NOTHING to do with the topic of this post? That’s OK, ‘cuz I’m going to blame it on my ADD.

(And this was across the street from our hotel. How did I not go inside??)

Anyway, on to the subject at hand for those who aren’t as easily distracted as I am. Last weekend, Mango Mussolini went to South Carolina for what had been permitted initially as a “MAGA rally.” By the time it came off, it had transmogrified into “an intimate event with highly vetted” (F-list, most likely) celebrities.
