19 February 2019 is Mexican Army Day, commemorating the
date of its foundation in 1913. It is also the birthday of Nicolaus Copernicus,
famed for devising the quantity theory of money (whatever that is). As
Copernicus was born in 1473 before the Gregorian calendar had been invented his
birth is given on the Julian calendar; on the proleptic Gregorian calendar it
is 28 February. His feast day in the Episcopalian liturgical year is 23 May.
Authorities are investigating two fraudulent nominations of
Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize; I assume these are separate from the nomination
by the Japanese prime minister that Trump was crowing about. And there is no
doubt that the man deserves the peace prize as much as former recipients Mother
Teresa and Barack Obama—which is to say not at all—so I say why not?
Irrelevance never forgets.
