it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

Happy Friday. Not too tricky but expensive in lines for me. Interesting word in many ways, historical, religious as well as financial.

A FUTURE GAME SHOW: “Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder, so he gets the point. And, an extra bonus point goes to Sue, as she was offended by your answer.”
A drawing of a television game show set with three walls behind the host and three contestants behind their respective podiums. One wall is comprised of question squares, another reads: “Facts Don’t Matter”, and the last is blank. The host addresses one of the contestants:
“Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder so he gets the point. And an extra bonus point goes to Sue as she was offended by your answer.”

Happy Thursday. Two letters in place and three overall by L2 made solving today's wordle a lot easier - more luck than skill. The word conjures up Fred and Ginger against an art deco backdrop, NY perhaps.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Happy Wednesday. Getting three letters in place led to two possible words, one of which had appeared before. As for the verse - one of the more profound influences of my early adult life was the novel 'Siddhartha' by Hermann Hesse. I'll say no more - I've probably said enough as it is. Namaste! 🙏

Happy Tuesday. Drawing a blank L1 didn't help matters, but that happens to all wordlers from time to time. The verse is based on a joke on a greeting card I once got. Seemed apt today!😁

Happy Monday. Wasn't too tricky today, as after L2 there was only one possible word. A bit of a nonsense rhyme with apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Happy Sunday. So many choices L2 I had to put in another "null" word to narrow it. That's often the difference between a 3️⃣ and a 4️⃣. Gambling on long odds can work sometimes, but risks going down a wordlehole. Whimsical rhyme - I used to sail in Dover harbour in my teens. Now I paraglide the cliffs.

Dear Texans: Here's an election pro tip. If a candidate won't debate You don't vote for them. Period. It's that simple. By not debating they're saying you're concerns are not a priority. Vote for those who will debate. They have plans and value your concerns. Vote Talarico! Vote Hinojosa!

Happy Saturday. I always try to find three letters to figure out the word. This time that alone took me three lines, so I'm happy enough with a 4️⃣. The verse is very much a "what am I?" clue. Perhaps I should have written an eponymous poem, but I'm simply not smart enough for that!🙂
