Understatements make odd headlines which is to say when you live in odd times, you go with what you’ve got. My source of inspiration for today is the inspiring Heather Cox Richardson’s morning Substack.
In the mire of regime news, ours, Iran’s, Saudi Arabia’s, and so on, we find stories of Ka$h’s bourbon. It’s literally a signature brand of booze for the 9th director of the FBI. But, that is not my point right now. I focus on the irony.
Edgar Hoover, old #1 at the Bureau, came to fame when Eliot Ness and his boys destroyed liquor stashes across America. Apparently, it is no longer prohibition at the agency. (I am well aware that Americans can have their whiskey and drink it too, it’s just a full circle chuckle is all I’m saying.)
