PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY NOV. 4, 2026) — THE PLANET thanks everyone for their kind wishes and understanding as we take this time for our recent retreat.

We shall return, like MacArthur,  with new content and the resumption of our publishing schedule on Monday, Nov. 23, ready for the diversionary plunge back into the world of commerce and nonsense.

In the meantime, we shall keep The Comment Line open for your thoughts on the recent mid-term elections, the price of guar gum in Senegal, and anything else you wish to mention.

Once more, thank you to all, from all of us here at THE PLANET.

“Now will they wake up, instead of makeup the evening headlines for each day” — Mick Valenti, from “Modern Man.”

“OPEN THE WINDOW, AUNT MILLIE.”

LOVE TO ALL.
