For all my complaints about the State Dept (and there are many), I don’t think anyone could ever argue “having too much money” was ever one of them.

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

I know I’ve talked before about how I have very vivid dreams and a few became chapters in Ex Supra. But man I woke up last night with an adrenaline spike from a dream so detailed that if I turn it into a novel it would be a bestseller.
