A little song for the season, to the tune of In The Jailhouse Now (Soggy Bottom Boys, O Brother Where Art Thou?)

I know a guy called Dementia Don
He used to grift, swindle, and con
He thought he was a stable gen-i-us
Well I found out last Monday
That Don got locked up Sunday
They've got him up on charges griev-i-ous

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I told him be discreet
To stop playin' Fox and a-sendin' tweets
He's in the jailhouse now

Interesting discussion on Germany relevant to current US . After 1945 was the cult mindset broken, people realize what they had done, and expressed regret? No clear answers here, not any comforting assurance that MAGA will soon be gone.

The man JD Vance called America's Hitler has picked a fight with the US army. His namesake in 1941 picked a fight with the US army, who turned out to be much more than suckers and losers. Didn't work out too well for him.

Remember Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? I'm struck by the similarities between Rev. Richard Wayne Gary Wayne and JD Vance. ;)

Is anyone surprised that the Xitter AI is spreading election misinformation?

Once in Beijing I saw many Japanese cars. All had their nameplates removed or covered. The cars are good, but after WWII war crimes the name was considered shameful. I wonder if Elon will bring about the same situation for Tesla in the US, and we'll see Teslas with the T removed.

A good description of my : I'm a "radical centrist." Rubin describes it very well, and cites its value in an age where the center has been collapsing not just in the US but worldwide, under assault from both far leftists and authoritarian populists.

As you read Project 2025, a good companion novel is this from 1930 which could have been written today.

Over on the Xitter, Musk is preventing people from following Kamala Harris campaign. What do you bet his algorithm also pushes down her posts and favorable replies?

I wish she'd come over here.

Clarence Thomas possibly meeting secretly with Kremlin officials in Russia and then committing felony Tax Fraud to cover it up is just another major breaking news story media has no time to cover because Biden cleared his throat a few extra times 12 days ago."

As he's on trial for accounting fraud to disguise hush money payments as legal fees to undermine the 2026 election, how is Trump paying his legal fees? Seemingly by illegally disguising PAC funds laundered to his own use as legal fees, evading campaign finance laws to undermine the 2024 election. Well, it worked once so why not?

"this crushingly obvious and yet frequently overlooked fact: The presidency isn’t a solo mission. Not even close. It’s a team effort, and the administration that a president puts together matters much, much more than his brawn or his brio."
