Day 1125
Steven the hockey puck

Over the weekend we asked ourselves if Donald’s special envoy to the Middle East and Russia was an aspirin tablet or a hockey puck. But we forgot to answer the question.
He obvi is a hockey puck, a pre-stoicism disciple Charlie Croker type.
Steven, a Bronx native who migrated to Long Island, is not a biscuit in the put-down sense Don Rickles used the hard round disk1. He is an icon of Veblen’s version of invidious distinction. His father made ladies’ coats, his youngest son overdosed in California.
