1) Holy shit, this photo of a police sniper aiming his weapon directly at the armed militia in the Michigan State House *taps ear* no, I'm sorry, that's a sniper pointing his weapon at unarmed black protesters, including children, at Ferguson. Apologies. Let me switch feeds...
2) ... ah yes, as I said, holy shit, this photo of state policemen standing calmly, weapons holstered, as armed white militia force their way into the Michigan statehouse is a hell of a thing!

7) That’s who’s running giant chunks of the country. People with a complete lack of imagination, unable to conceive of anything more important than shoving money upwards, or becoming powerful because that’s what’s important to them. Even *virtuous* to them.
8) When Lindsey Graham whines that you can’t be too generous with unemployment, because people will take advantage of it, it’s because he can’t imagine somebody who wouldn’t exploit the system. Because HE WOULD.
9) Trump can’t imagine anyone who’s not try ing to cheat the system, or fuck other people. Kushner can’t imagine anything but exercising power. An entire political movement incapable of imagining any virtue than work and obedience to your betters.

1) I can't sleep. because a scene from one of the first COLUMBO TV movies keeps running my head, and it explains everything about America right now.
2) So in RANSOM FOR A DEAD MAN, available on our friend @IMDbTV the cunning lawyer Lee Grant murders her husband, dumps his body, then fakes a kidnapping so she can hijack the ransom and deprive the stepdaughter of her inheritance.
3) The stepdaughterr figures it out, and offers to disappear for a nice bribe. Lee Grant agrees, pays her off — but TWIST! Columbo set it up so he could prove she has the ransom money.

1) Based on today's Twitter meltdown, I think we may have underestimated the narcissistic injury the widespread mocking of Trump's disinfectant comments. This was not criticism -- it was mocking. That's intolerable.
2) Also, the petulance about working hard -- we shoudl remember that despite the fact he's barely working, THIS IS THE HARDEST HE'S WORKED IN YEARS. Not to mention --
3) I mean, his total business for a decade at least has been being on TV, paying for sex, and being a compliant money laundering cog. Sending the kids off to negotiate with the Russians or Iranians (look it up). That's it.
