That Hideous Strength - returns to haunt Biden
C.S. Lewis has a humorous episode near the end of his novel, That Hideous Strength, which depicts a scenario in which people speak in gibberish. Even their written notes are filled with nonsense reminiscent of the Tower of Babel and the curse that befell those who tried to get to Heaven on their own...
