The Legal Department at Socotra House sent us a memo, saying the disclaimer should be inserted someplace near the top of the Daily Distribution (TM) so that our distinguished readers are enabled to make responsible decisions on reading. All the information on this transmission and on our host website: at http://www.vicsocotra.com. The Writer’s Section makes […]

Yeah, the topic of this week’s Weather Report is unsettled. There are troubling aspects to the seven-month prediction- what we use as a substitute framework for the ‘seven day’ cycle used on the flat-screen. We have a sample of an increasing phenomenon here in the Writer’s Circle: some of us are boycotting the news broadcasts […]

We have a clue this morning about who was behind all the controversy. They advertise it. But it had to go to “research” mode this morning since some of us were unconscious during the period described. It was an opportunity to try to link a couple parallel stories, one of which involved the University of […]

The excitement here is palpable! There are stories that the Administration may change their candidate as soon as May. That is unverified, of course, since that is the way journalism seems to work these days. There is some controversy about who might replace the incumbents.

The Congress is wrestling with a Bill About the Border. You might have heard about it. It is a big deal, and they may get around to telling us what is in it this week, right before they vote on it. We should just leave it at that, since the idea of Senators and Representatives […]

If you are only recently awake, we have the scene-setter for you about what is to come from the sky. You have been warned about scene-setting messages and large furry animals that serve as weather-guessers, and we are going to do it anyway. Punxsutawney Phil, a noted Groundhog, did not see his shadow this morning. […]

The clouds have parted with the dawn here at Big Pink, and there is some momentary clarity blazing bright white from […]

There has been more information coming out about the Pandemic lately, the most recent one. We have discovered that some of the policy decisions were based not on Science, but on Policy. Splash was muttering as the meeting lurched into Wednesday norms, the one where the themes of the week teeter on the balance point […]
