George Washington, first President of the United States of America, once said, “Neither politics nor religion are fit topics for the table, nor for casual blogging.â€
We met, that day, in a cafe while he was travelling back in time to either lead the Union as its Commander-in-Chief, or to play at being Johann Adam Weishaupt (as the old wag was more than a little fond of yanking the tails of conspiracy theorists).
After coffee, while we settled our bills, he looked askance at me and added, “I cannot tell a lie. You’re totally making this whole thing up.â€
An astounding man, he had been right on both counts. That I ignore his sage advice from time-to-time is just how things work out.
