mallorys_cameraI'm ashamed of being an American this morning.
Not sure I've ever felt that so specifically before. With all its flaws, I've always believed opportunity is not quite as rigged here in favor of the ruling classes as it is in other places.
But that video Trump posted, superimposing the Obamas' heads over cartoon apes' bodies.
That video really says everything you need to know about the United States.
If I were a Black American, I think I'd do anything I could to limit my interactions with white Americans, particularly my interactions with weak, namby-pamby white Americans like me who raise our voices feebly in protest but who are absolutely powerless to stop the surging tide of white supremecy.

In other news, it finally dawned on me that Chapter 5 is actually Chapters 5 and 6. Even when I tighten the prose, so much happens that the words keep piling. A natural break occurs when Grazia drives off to Creepy Mansion with the New Millennium Kingdom perps.
Not sure yet how I'm gonna frame Chapter 6. Obviously, Grazia can't stay at Creepy Mansion very long, and I'm not sure what she's gonna do there. I guess I could write a demented Bible Study scene! Not sure either how to manage Neal's metamorphosis into Sir Rescue riding a white charger.

It's 9°F out there right now. And the mercury is falling.
