When victimhood becomes currency, there will be counterfeiters.  Jussie Smollet should be sentences for the crimes he’s been convicted of, then tried for perjury.  For both crimes, the sentence should be punitively augmented with “hate crime” designations.  I find the notion that this country has anything called a “hate crime” abhorrent, but if you insist on having it, then you need to deal with false accusers just as harshly as you would any other hate crime perpetrator.  Staging a hate crime is a hate crime.

Rain has returned to The Creek, finally, thank Christ.  The end of October, it rained 6″ in one day, and then that was kind of it.  Until today.
I didn’t write nearly enough last week.  I have dim, dark hopes about the coming week, but honestly, no decent literature will be committed this week either.  Things are a bit hectic now, as things are this time of year.
