With Easter coming up, I had eggs for breakfast. No, not scrambled - Cadbury! In an uncanny coincidence, the world’s largest Chocolate Festival again falls on the same weekend as the festival marking Jesus’ death.
We'll keep our heads down over the long weekend, as the Bay will be packed again with holidaymakers. In any case, I've got a whole pile of books I want to read. One is Chris Bowen's "Australia's Twelve Most Notable Treasurers". On the back of the book's dust cover Paul Keating wrote that he agreed with all but eleven of Bowen's choices.
It's difficult to ignore all that noise coming out of the USA. Now a recent poll seems to suggest that a majority of Americans would support exchanging Donald J. Trump for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, with respondents agreeing that a maximum security prison in El Salvador is an appropriate place to house a felon convicted on 34 counts. The suggested legal justification for trading Trump for Garcia was, "Administrative error".
When I look at Trump I'm reminded of what I learned in biology more than sixty years ago, namely, that humans are deuterostomes. In case you've forgotten, this means that in the womb humans develop the anus before any other opening which means at one point we were nothing but an asshole. Sadly, some people never develop beyond this stage.
Here's one deuterostome wishing you a Happy Easter!
