Angle of Repose Friday Edition

Angle of Repose Friday

“I wonder if ever again Americans can have that experience of returning to a home place so intimately known, profoundly felt, deeply loved, and absolutely submitted to? It is not quite true that you can't go home again. I have done it, coming back here. But it gets less likely. We have had too many divorces, we have consumed too much transportation, we have lived too shallowly in too many places.” 

-- Wallace Stegner 

"Angle of Repose"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

It's "Angle of Repose Friday" on The After Show. Surveys say, that’s the angle in which a granular substance stays in place on a slope. We insist it’s the angle you recline on your Barcalounger while reading Wallace Stegner’s, “Angle of Repose.”

Less than twenty percent of Americans think incarceration should be punitive; highly-skilled Canadian nurses are banned from their Detroit hospital jobs by Trump’s immigration order; and, the courts gave Trump great news about his Muslim ban, and almost no one noticed.

For The Last Half, it's the Friday News Dump and Recycling Center, news that's been re-purposed with a purpose.

Unsealed court documents show Monsanto orchestrated a massive cancer cover-up; and, an Irish historian debunks the racist myth of Irish Slaves that neo-Nazis, Confederacy apologists and Trump supporters love to share on social media.

All that, plus the Connect! Unite! Act! Daily Kos Community Calendar and more, on The After Show with Wink & Justice.

"Just listen to those crazy tunes!"

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.

Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky

And the affrighted steed ran on alone,

Do not weep.

War is kind.

 Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment,

 Little souls who thirst for fight,

 These men were born to drill and die.

 The unexplained glory flies above them,

 Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom—

 A field where a thousand corpses lie.

Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.

Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches,

Raged at his breast, gulped and died,

Do not weep.

War is kind.

 Swift, blazing flag of the regiment,

 Eagle with crest of red and gold,

 These men were born to drill and die.

 Point for them the virtue of slaughter,

 Make plain to them the excellence of killing

 And a field where a thousand corpses lie.

Mother whose heart hung humble as a button

On the bright splendid shroud of your son,

Do not weep.

War is kind.

-- Stephen Crane 
from "War is Kind"
