I'd like to think that when Betty White arrived in Heaven she asked, "So is this Heaven?" and Bea Arthur told her, "No, it's Hell with better lighting, Rose"

National Roots Day...

23rd December-National Roots Day-has been celebrated in the US for c.40 years but is little known beyond?
Falling just before Christmas, globally recognised as a family day, it seems timely to have a global, 'ancestral' kind of celebration as an entrée before the main course... pic.twitter.com/H8BZxV1fU1

Powerful sculpture...the inner child locked inside us all...Inner selves are executed in the form of transparent children who shine as night falls = purity+sincerity.

the American flag?....

Wow, you get the simple stuff so wrong Josh (just like Scott). Not sure @WhiteHouse will be impressed when they realise the Treasurer of Australia doesn’t know what the flag of the USA actually looks like. Here’s hoping the President and @StateDept don’t notice? #auspol

If there is anything during this pandemic that I am somewhat enjoying, is seeing the very public slide into irrelevance of some of our 'entitled' politicians. They are embarrassing themselves into imminent obscurity (apart from being amusing to a point) without any help from us.
