A bill to add a carving of President Donald Trumpto Mount Rushmore has been introduced by a MAGA politician.
Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna announced the bill Tuesday calling for Trump to be added to the South Dakota monument with the message: “Let’s get carving.”
Reminds me of an old Isaac Asimov story.
There’s a floating city called Atlantis. It’s the headquarters of the tyranny. One insider figures out a way to sabotage the place and crash it, using the leader’s own vanity against him.
“Shah Guido G.”

You’ll appreciate this story about a story.
Asimov once wrote a science fiction mystery about a murder committed during a game of pool.
He gave it to the editor with the title ‘Billiard Ball.’
The editor liked it, but he told Isaac that a punnier title would have be “Dirty Pool.”
