Cockeyed caravan
If you think Col. Vindman's evisceration of the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee was fun, check out South Dakota's stumbling attempt to deal with its worst drug problem.
Trump left his bed for a Cabinet meeting/ass-kissing session today. Apparently he's displeased with Pompeo's inability or unwillingness to keep State Department personnel away from the Capitol. Could everyone scrunch over and make room for plus-size Mike under the bus?
Marie Yovanovitch went to hear Arturo Sandoval and his band at Blues Alley in Georgetown and got another standing ovation last night. I hope the club comped her party. The drunken rapist Kavanaugh had a less welcoming experience at the Federalist Society dinner, being forced to walk past a giant screen playing Dr. Christine Ford's testimony. Some people still think the Supreme Court ought to be above politics. Never was, never will be.
Charlie Pierce, who does this for a living, has identified at least twenty-two different defenses offered for Trump's crimes. This is just the Ukraine business, you understand, not encouraging Russia to molest our electoral process or his daily bath in emoluments or anything else. If none of them works, Louie Gohmert will run around the tables scattering papers and honking like Harpo.
God save the BBC, long live the BBC, god save the Beeb. If not for BBC America I wouldn't see anything about the mounting violence in Hong Kong, the fuel-price riots in Iran, the presidential election in Sri Lanka or the coup attempt in Bolivia. Our own network newsies would have more time to at least mention these events if they devoted less time to the ill-advised interview given by Andrew, Duke of York, about his involvement with one of Jeffrey Epstein's underage escorts. Andrew's life has been one long cock-up, but Americans love their royalty and it's all about the ratings.
"Am I laughing?" John L. Sullivan asks another member of his chain gang in Preston Sturges's masterpiece Sullivan's Travels, as they watch a cartoon in a weathered Southern church. He is, and he can't believe it, but it convinces him the world needs more movies like Hey-hey In the Hayloft. I know the feeling.
