2. LOL I'll never look at a head on the pike again

I do recall a visit to Westminster Cathedral and asked the docent on duty to see where Major John Andre was buried. He said we don't get many requests, I replied I just want to see where the other half of him is. They boil his remains down in Tappan NY, took the bones, returning the boiled mess to the burial pit. Yuck

She seems to have a way with funerary humor.

6. He was a "Christian Nationalidt" before the term had been created.

And, of course, in reality Christian Nationalists" are neither. They and juse power-hungry individualists.

Oliver's son son Richard succesded him as "Lord Protector" and was bad at it - so bad the Brits got Charles II back from FRance to head the government. It's said that he is where the expression "tight as dick's headband" comes from - an expression suggesting someone is under unbearable pressure.

Pleas remember Cromwell the Lord Protector the next time you think about what Trump**'s "I will be your protector" really meanms.
