One could sense we were on somewhat soggy
ground when young Trump denounced the tak-
ing of Shakespeare, relevantly, repeating
these learned admonitions on the heels of
another shooting spree. Of course convul-
sive exhalations reign just now, such that
soon enough a séance is bound to be called
by some Calpurnia of the Right, to exploit
the hour by demanding forgiveness of mis-
rule. Why should opportunism lack for in-
dignation's mask, with all that practice?
