[FRIAM] the power of metaphor.

[David Eric Smith]

This is a gem, Marcus,

Also in its brevity.  But if you could add a few more lines to it, could somebody maybe put it on Cruz’s senator homepage in place of whatever is there right now?  Would be a great public service.  

Would the Russians be willing to rent out one-time access through their backdoors, for a good cause?  

It would take more work than it would be worth to replace the content on the whole site.

Eric

Was there a particular point at which he decided to be a public person and that he realized he could find an angle in any situation?   Did he anticipate what his life would become, or did he just fall into it?  Sometimes it seems like he doesn’t even enjoy it.   It seems there is no objective distance he gets from his nihilism.  There’s just always the next thing he has to do.
