The Seven Deadly Sins are back cavorting on our screens and dancing on our tables

    1. Thanks, David.

      They cycle in and out from the deep background to the center of our lives. They have their own publicists, strategists, social media boosters and social media accounts, Caribbean islands, secret files at the DOJ, pollsters and so many houses, among them white.

      They are currently in full hell light in front and around us. What a spectacle!
