Perhaps that is why Mencken was so pessimistic and dark in his worldview: He had low resistance to his own temptation, and projected that onto others. He could complain about how hideous things around him were, but never seemed to have anything constructive to say. I prefer to focus on those who make lovely things in this world, even as transitory as it might be. Thank you, Clint.

Yeah, he could be a bit of a cockwomble, but I still like some of his work. And as someone who has trouble resisting temptations, I feel his pain. lol

Cheers, Sam!

I was humming it as I was editing…hence the title. While my version of “irresistible” differs from Robert Palmer’s, we share a fixation on bootiful peoples. :-p
