Susan Hasler on Trump & Cruz, Yeats on 1916
[ by Charles Cameron — the self-examining word ]
.
Hasler‘s Getting the response to terrorism completely wrong — which goes after Trump and Cruz by name — was published tomorrow — it’s 11.58pm Sunday here in California.
Yeats‘ poem remembers the Easter of 1916, a hundred years ago today.

They are so careful with words–often not saying them so as to ignore events that might negatively effect their agenda, which tends to the left. They aren’t journalists. They are political operative with a byline. Unlike Yeats, they don’t “lie awake at night” worrying about getting the answers right.

Hi Morgan:
.
As you may well know, Yeats was both a poet and a politician; he served two terms as a Senator for the Irish Free State, and Susan Hasler was a counterterrorism analyst at CIA at the time of the 9/11 attack, and has been writing spy novels since she retired.
