25 March 12020 is the Day to Remember Slavery Victims and
Transatlantic Slave Trade. It is also the World Solidarity Day for Detained and Missing Workers, Greek Independence Day (Cyprus), the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord
(Greece and Lebanon), Chaitra Sukhladi
(India), and Maryland Day (Maryland).
The saint of the day is Dismas, or Demas, or Rakh, or Zoathan—the Thief on the
Cross who spoke up for Jesus and was scheduled to be with him in Paradise that
day. People of note who were born today include Béla Bartók, Gloria Steinem,
and Elton John.
It seems that the U. S. president’s interest in the pandemic,
always flitting and fitful, has waned, and he wants to declare it over and move
on to other things. He seems puzzled that the governors of the states most
afflicted by the novel coronavirus expect the federal government to DO ITS GODDAMN JOB as he attempted to
fob it off on them. Trump’s incompetence has now risen to a lethal level, and
if he isn’t up to the job, he should either RESIGN, BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE, or
FACE A FIRING SQUAD. I favor the last option. The time for half measures is
long past.
