Plot of the Man Who Was Thursday: terrorists are, in fact, all police officers.
Hey…I’ve got an idea for a New Republic article: Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden are, in fact, counter-terrorists who have infiltrated the highest ranks of terrorist organizations and the states which fund them. Intriguery…
The living dead have given up on their own aspirations, fallen victim to the ebb and flow.
Mindless submission to the agendas of others.
I am still alive
Frank’s been reading GK Chesterton! I expect the quality of this blog to steadily increase now, which would be pretty cool considering how good it is now.
The first step to understanding “The Man Who Was Thursday” is to note its subtitle: “A Nightmare”. This was pointed out by GK himself near the end of his life.
He mentioned, in the same short piece, that Sunday was not his actual concept of God; which is really obvious enough considering GK’s Catholicism.
By the way, I don’t understand it either, not completely. I’ve nearly come to the conclusion that it was a kind of inside story, based on the introductory poem: “Who shall understand but you?” Not me, at any rate. But I still love the book.
Do they have streams in Iraq??
There are streams anywhere there are bladders.
In what respect is GK Chesterton a maniac? Is he not as brilliant and wise as ronin Frank J himself?
on streams…
“Man can write his name in the snow, but it is funnier to watch a woman try.”
don’t underestimate us, grasshoppa.
Very insightful, GK. Now somebody explain the plot of “The Man Who Was Thursday” to me.
As with every “law” there is an exception…
Michael Moore is so contrary that if he drowned in a river, they’d have to search upstream for his body.
I doubt he would move up or down stream very much after I finish weighting him down.
ummm…uhhhh…nevermind that. No plot here or anything….
I like it!
Only a corpse goes with the flow!!
and so do turds!
The Charles River will be full of corpses by the end of the month.
I love Chesterton!

I get it!
The stream is a metaphor for the U.N.
John Kerry looks like a corpse.
It’s so clear!
