      He’s actually following Hitler’s playbook.

      Although the last three months have made me realize that the average American has no idea what happened in Germany during the 1930s, beyond the single phrase “Hitler rose to power”.

      Turning the government into his personal deparments, installing puppet heads, arresting judges, disappearing people based on ethnicity and putting them into prisons in a foreign country, creating lists of people with disabilities. militarizing the police, etc.

      I got the feeling that free and fair things will be as elusive as the colossal squid.

      Out of context: writing about elusive squids made me wonder, if someone knows how our Flying Squid is doing?

      The last i heard of him, he was moving with his family to the UK.

      I sure miss his presence.
