Magical Negroes, Eclipses, and the Collapse of Zionism
Last week, we had a total eclipse of the sun. For some reason, human beings always get excited about an event they’ve probably experienced at least a handful of times in their life. But then again, people at least in my neck of the woods, still become spellbound when the snow starts to fall. Maybe it’s a form of childish innocence.
Here in the D.C. swamp suburbs, nothing much happened on the day of the eclipse. Well, actually nothing at all happened. It didn’t really even get overcast. My extremely sensitive and high strung golden retriever Riley didn’t seem to sense anything out of the ordinary. We took one of our countless walks outside during the eclipse, and she wasn’t distracted from sniffing various spots of ground, rolling playfully in the grass, or acting as if every person walking, most of them with their own dog in tow, was holding a big check from Publisher’s Clearing House. I never looked up, not just because they claim it could burn your retinas, since I don’t trust anything they, but because it didn’t seem like anything special was going on.
The only eclipse I got charged up about happened in 1971. My sister and her kids had come over from Iran to live with us for a couple of years, and we all gathered outside on the front lawn to watch it together. Even then, we knew about the burned retina issue, so I remember using a mirror to look at the reflection. I wasn’t as brave as Donald Trump, who supposedly scoffed at the experts and looked directly into the sun. It doesn’t seem like anything is wrong with his retinas. At any rate, it was a bit of a letdow
