My wife just read me the New York Times article about Donald Trump getting indicted in New York. More dark clouds on the horizon it looks like. Maybe another street fight or two.

But there was something about that article that hit me funny…

How arresting the former Commander in Chief might work – he’d have Secret Service protection while he was being arrested.

How he will probably be fingerprinted but might not have to wear handcuffs, and if he does, whether they would cuff him in front or in back.

What a bind it would put primary opponent Ron DeSantis in if Trump defies the court and stays in Florida.

It just struck me how absurd all this is. It’s like a satire, like something Kurt Vonnegut would write. As much as Cat’s Cradle freaked me out, I love Kurt Vonnegut. Galapagos is also amazing.

It’s the way I deal, same way Vonnegut did when he wrote those two apocalypse stories. When shit goes bad, there’s almost always something funny about it too.

Whatever happens, you have to admit it’s a gripping story. If it was a movie it would be a blockbuster. I’d damn sure watch it. I’m already on the edge of my seat.

I bet Vonnegut is laughing bitterly at America right now, wherever he is. Not as funny as the ending of Galapagos, but pretty good.
