Not keeping up with news.

Busy working on teenage alibi calendar. Scrubbing Nixon impeachment parties.

Somehow I think that if a progressive candidate for SCOTUS, while at their confirmation hearing,

had screamed they were being persecuted by a cabal of Bush/Rove/Cheney Koch brothers supporters the hearing would have ended on the spot with no vote even scheduled.

Wait, what's a hearing asks Merrick Garland?

Media and Suppression Today

Watching the archival footage of the NAZIs burning books in Germany in the 1930s as a way to suppress enlightened thinking gave me pause the other night. I wonder if today we face a different kind of suppression. Rather than burn books and media, what reactionary forces do is "flood the zone" with Info Wars, Drudge, and Faux News to the extent that any rational, fact-based media is not burned, but drowned.

A tsunami of BS to the extent that "my opinion" has more merit than your "facts."

I love the movie "The Big Sleep"

My favorite line:

Coping calling Bogart: You need to come to my office now.

Bogart: Don't you know not to wake a guy up at 2 in the afternoon.

Here is a prime example:
