New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci makes Satan ask: What's a soul cost these days?  

OK, it's summer and all journalists are poets at heart; but aside from the colorful metaphor, you may find by wading through it as I did, that the gentleman in question is both articulate and an excellent judge of people.

 I  never would have thought it from his first display of boot-licking.  But now, having read what he said prior to his new appointment, my suspicion is that that guy who said all those things is in an excellent spot

to sway our malleable leader in the right direction, just by association. He can play a sort of jester role, and facing the press,he can bend the absurd to the palatable, at least. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to have a few smart guys around, even if they're pretending to be stupid. Maybe it'll rub off! 



Authors Bio:
Born in Long Island public school year in Sweden as exchange student, went to Harvard one year, Cooper Union in NYC as Art student. Have two children, one of whom is rock mogul, the other has three daughters, one of whom has two daughters, making me a great grandmother at 68, very proud. For twenty years I operated a private primary school, Orchard School, in Santa Cruz CA. Still going strong but I'm retired and write much of the time. Strong believer in the space program and our subconscious quest as a species to prevent celestial onslaughts of one kind and another, for which it is my conviction that we have developed nuclear power, though we've had to use false wars to do so; in the end I believe we'll redeem ourselves in this way, which is why I find the abandonment of the shuttle program so sad. The Russians will do the honors with the next menace from Heaven, or have said that they will. In any case, nothing matters much if we don't, not the debt ceiling, pollution, nothing. All moot.
