February 16: Braced Himself, Controversy, Billy Collins

Santiago examines his injury . . . 

"He has slowed much," he said.

The old man would have liked to keep his hand in the salt water longer but he was afraid of another sudden lurch by the fish and he stood up and braced himself and held his hand up against the sun. It was only a line burn that had cut his flesh. But it was in the working part of his hand. He knew he would need his hands before this was over and he did not like to be cut before it started.

Since I can't seem to avoid being slightly controversial recently, I've decided to go all in, injuries and detractors be damned.

January 6 was NOT a political protest.  It was an attempt to violently overthrow the government of the United States, encouraged by . . .

Donald Trump, who lost the election, is a dangerous sociopath, and should be in prison.

Jesus was not white and blue-eyed.

Billionaires should not pay less in taxes than I do.

Kamila Valieva should not be allowed to skate in the Beijing Olympics.

If you don't support gay marriage, then don't marry a person who is the same gender as you.  And shut the hell up.

I like the poetry of Billy Collins.

Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie.

And I think the United States should celebrate Boxing Day.

Finally, Saint Marty gives you a controversial picture of his dog.
