Why on earth would I doubt that you're an American citizen? As for your thoughtful suggestion, I shall certainly give it my earnest consideration once I have found "'ASAP, by Allen Tice" on Amazon.

The title is "Of Course," Brian.
Type "Allen Tice" in the book search line.
It has a floral arrangement painted by my lady wife on the cover, a blurb by Michael Hulse on the back, and you can "look inside" at the earlier pages. In the troubled USA it is $19. I don't know the price in France. I'm sorry I feel I had to bounce at you, but I do live here where it's happening, and nowhere else. I vote. I have a certain amount of experience living under a number of American administrations, and I don't have to approve of anything some have done. Nonetheless, it is still my country. Peace.

Oh, dear. It was another joke, Allen. I know perfectly well what 'asap' means, but I couldn't resist playing with the ambiguously expressed "Buy my book ASAP".

I don't wish to labour the point, but I don't think that the fact that you live and vote in America makes it off-limits to comment or criticism from non-Americans.

Peace to you, and I very much hope that democracy will someday be restored in your country.

I have zero complaints about the part of your post quoted above. It’s entirely fair play. It’s language and thrust are not dissimilar to what I could remark myself about what’s going on. To be very clear, it is wry, apt, and Allgar all at once.
