Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, stood by himself against the hills, holding darkness within; he had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.
The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On one of those rocks is Tiny Tim, who did NOT die—under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are his. I am haunted by waters.
I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith—as there's a drive into deep left field by Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4–0 ballgame.

An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history.
But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels?
Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.
