Thoughts about the Monroe doctrine
A couple of days ago, a Pulse post written by Anthony Scaramucci caught my attention. The post can be found here.

At 5 past 7 on the 25th day of an unknown month, my analog wristwatch, a heavy piece of precision machinery made of stainless steel and scratch proof cristal, had stopped working.
