Homage to Catalonia?

What little American coverage there has been has taken a neutral to sympathetic tone, sometimes seen in such nuances as calling it a conflict about independence rather than secession or schism.

Anyway, Madrid still says nope.

Spain to impose direct rule as Catalonia leader refuses to back down

But nowhere near as aggressive as Lincoln after Fort Sumter.

Of course, Catalonia has no secessionist army.

Yet.

By the way, you might be a geezer if the way newsies now pronounce "homage" sounds both wrong and pretentious to you.

If you Google it for a definition and press the gizmo to hear it said you will find the pronunciation familiar from your own youth, however.

And so your judgment of the newsies will be that far vindicated, despite all your years.
