For most Americans, Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington, it's where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week.

Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting experiences between the general American population and government officials in Washington, D.C. While Friday afternoons symbolize excitement and anticipation for the weekend for most Americans, it holds another significance for politicians. It suggests that government officials often use this time to release or disclose unfavorable stories or information they hope will go unnoticed or be overshadowed by the approaching weekend. Conversely, positive news is revealed on Mondays to ensure bureaucrats can discuss and amplify it throughout the week. In this way, the quote implies a deliberate strategic approach to shaping public perception and minimizing public scrutiny.

I follow Plato only with my mindPure beauty strikes me as a little thinA little cold, however beautiful.I am in love with what is mixed and impureDoubtful, dark and hard to disencumberI want beauty I must dig for, search for.Pure beauty is beginning and not endBegin with the sun and drop from sun to cloudFrom cloud to tree, and from tree to earth itselfAnd deeper yet to the earth dark root.I am in love with what resists my lovingWith what I have to labor to make live.
