Miss Dismal Is Back And This Time It's a Grudge Match


She's fighting a battle for nothing less than Democracy and Freedom, provided, of course, that you think those things require some kind of authority to pre-clear the news and opinion you see. 

This time she's going private sector, and why not? Her government gig at the Disinformation Governance Board was such a fiasco its charter was rescinded after only three weeks, which must be a record for Federal government reaction time. The Biden Administration couldn't drop that bad idea fast enough.

Well, now it sounds like Miss Dismal is looking for revenge on all the scoffers who laughed her out of town. And what better time to do that than during an election year? 

I hope she's bringing her best Mary Poppins voice because it will be a tough slog all the way to November.

The parallels between what's happening on our campuses and the Chinese Cultural Revolution is remarkable.

Those are some great Mao-style Struggle Sessions going on in California and New York. Not so much in Florida and Texas, or Virginia I'm happy to say, where the forces of rightist oppression have dispersed the students.

But then, I'm with Mao on this much: "let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend." So the Great Helmsman wasn't wrong about absolutely everything.

He was always saying " I gotta go swimming, where is that river?"

"Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend." That was the Chairman's way of identifying opposition. Those that took the bait didn't do very well.

Mao swimming in the river! Yes, I remember the Life magazine photos of his head bobbing along. IIRC he was doing a photo-op to disprove rumors of his demise. He was a cagey commie.

Now that I think of it, President Zho Xiden has a similar need for photo-ops to shows he's still alive. He ought to play the Mao card and take a dip in the Potomac.
