Paean in the Neck
All I wish for — all I ask
Is freedom from this accursed mask
Hungry for some O2 manna
Unfiltered by the Talibandanna.Yes, I swear, Oh! Lord,
I will not go overboard
I won’t cough in peoples’ faces
Or commit similar disgraces.Pride and gluttony and sloth
Aren’t possible with mouth in cloth!
Lust and envy, wrath, and greed
Likely unlikely to succeed.No, I’m not a radical at all
Not fiery like Apostle Paul
Rebellion? That I would not foment:
I just pray for a de-mask-us moment.

Escape from Paris: City is gridlocked as tens of thousands flee, stations are packed, violent protests break out and shelves are stripped ahead of month-long lockdown that BANS travel
UK Daily Mail | October 30, 2020 | Jack Wright
Tens of thousands of Parisians last night caused massive traffic jams in a desperate attempt to flee the French capital ahead of the start of Emmanuel Macron’s new national shutdown.
Video posted to Twitter shows huge numbers of Parisians attempting a mass exodus out of the city in a bid to avoid the 9pm curfew and the start of the second lockdown from midnight.
The night air was filled with the sound of blaring car horns while social media users estimated that Parisians had created ‘hundreds of miles’ of gridlock to escape to their second homes in the country.
…
Emmanuel Macron’s draconian measures are due to be enforced until at least December 1, with people required to carry documents justifying their reason for leaving home that will be subject to police checks.
…
State-approved reasons for leaving households include buying essential goods, seeking medical attention or taking a daily one-hour allocation of exercise, the French government announced. Though bars and restaurants will close again, all public services, schools and essential workplaces will stay open.
… yoga mats were not to be found at many sporting goods stores.
‘I’m stocking up, since we don’t know when this will end,’ said Catherine Debeaupuis.
People will be allowed to leave home only if armed with a self-signed certificate stating their urgent business – food shopping, taking the kids to school, going to work if this cannot be done from home, going to the hospital or a pharmacy. A certificate would also be needed by people wishing to go for a jog or walk their dog, within a limit of one hour and no further than one kilometre (0.6 miles) from home.
Sneering at America and quoting Marx will be limited to 23 hours per calendar day, to reduce exposure to these viruses.

Marianne Williamson Justifies Philly Looting By Claiming Bible Says Nothing About Stealing Being Bad
summit.news | 28 October, 2020 | Paul Joseph WatsonFormer Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson justified another night of riots and looting in Philadelphia by claiming that there’s nothing in the Bible which tells people not to steal.
Yes, really.
…
Responding to the looting, Williamson took to Twitter to declare, “There are people in this country more concerned about a Walmart being looted than about an innocent man being killed. Many of them tout the Bible, but “Thou shall not loot” is not in there. “Thou shalt not kill” sure is.”
Apparently, Williamson is unaware of the Ten Commandments, one of which literally states, “Thou shalt not steal.”
When respondents pointed out Williamson’s embarrassing mistake, she was forced to correct herself, tweeting, “Actually, “Thou shalt not steal” is of course in there. But my point about priorities remains the same.”
And Democrats sincerely considered her for the presidency.

Joe Biden Uses Adolf Hitler in Campaign Ad
Breitbart | October 29, 2020 | Joel B. PollakFormer Vice President Joe Biden has used footage of Nazi dictator and mass murderer Adolf Hitler in a new campaign ad attacking President Donald Trump.
…
Despite the use of Nazi imagery, Biden has said that his campaign — what he calls the “battle for the soul of our nation” — aims to unify Americans.
Well, it is almost Thanksgiving: Goebbel, Goebbel.
