Nero & Newsom

Why do the fires sweeping across the Southern California landscape remind me of another apocalyptic fire?

(Peter Ustinov as Nero, in Quo Vadis)

To this day we don’t know whether Nero started the fire or not. But like California Governor Gavin Newsom, he serves as an icon of feckless, irresponsible, insultingly bad, and generally shabby leadership. If we might use that word.

You really do wonder about the people who elect these characters. They could have voted them down–imagine that.
