David and Go-LIE-ath.

Remember my post yesterday about David Duchovny’s 2028 presidential bid?  That was an April Fool’s Day joke.

I might be losing my touch — I think I fooled almost NOBODY this year.  Or maybe you people are just getting sharper in your old age.

“April is the cruelest month, breeding
lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
memory and desire, stirring
dull roots with spring rain.”

― T. S. Eliot, “The Waste Land”

Totally NOT an April Fool’s joke.

I can’t believe that David Duchovny is actually running for president.

But it could work.  Hey, it’s not like there isn’t a precedent for popular entertainers making a successful bid for The White House.

And it be would ironic if he won.  His long-running breakout television role was a character trying desperately to expose government conspiracies.  A victory in 2028 would make him fully ONE THIRD of that very same government.

That 70’s Poet.

I passed a nice milestone yesterday — I’ve now seen my writing and photography appear in 70 ongoing periodicals (in addition to the anthologies and other standalone publications).
