We had a corrupted database table yesterday (Sunday). I spent the whole day trying to correct it, to no avail.
The solution was to restore the database from early Sunday morning's backup. I was able to save the essays that were posted after the backup was created (about 5:00 Sun. morning), but not the comments. Sorry for any inconvenience.
FWIW. I feel better for having written it, anyway.
Dear Tom,
I had a feeling you'd be writing to me so I checked my junk mail folder. And I was right!
And you want money!
More interesting will be the first RW “conservative purity” pundit to denounce Bannon as a “Cultural Marxist” precisely because he has adopted a “deconstructive” position on the administrative state that cops a cue from the Frankfurt School, but with a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of political communication.
Assuming the primacy of the political and administrative state apparatus over the economy, Bannon references indirectly a Frankfurt School theory about the overthrow of the bureaucratic imperatives of the administrative state. Unfortunately, much like his misreading of Evola and the interwar fascist literature, his approach suffers much like the ad libs of POTUS45* speeches.
What Lord Dampnut tried in the first month of the regime was a “military” yet “bloodless” coup, supported by a Russian alliance which seems now to have failed, as long as the cover-up continues to unravel the connections to crony capitalism and the kleptocracy of multiple polities.
Bannon has been trying to disrupt the quasi-deep state of permanent administrative agencies, especially the security apparatus which has now defensively used the same communicative means to constrain that action.

Some Albums really stood out for one reason or another, but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved. There are others that I just like to play every once in a while.
Bob Dylan's "I Shall be Free" published in "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" in 1963 included the line
What I want to know, Mr. Football Man, is
What do you do about Willy Mays, Martin Luther King, Olatunji?
Parents of eight transgender children have asked for a meeting with Trump, Sessions and DeVos to discuss the administration's withdrawal of protections for transgender students in the nation's schools.
I think enough time has gone by that we can begin to assess what did happen, what went wrong and what was done right. For what it might be worth, here is my modest contribution to doing just that.
If any of you doubted that the Democratic Party was tone deaf and unable to learn, I give you this quote.
He takes the corrupt 'New' Democratic Party to the mat and lays the election of Donald Trump right at their feet. But now the liars and cheats are coming out of the woodwork and out from under their rocks claiming that things are all better now. Jimmy Dore cuts to the heart of the matter. He came right out and said that Perez got picked by DNC donors and super-delegates, not the plebs. We need more Jimmy Dores.
In fact I've never been this close to shredding my US passport in my life.[It's a criminal offence, you have to send it back intact.]
Watching CPAC and the Trump circus last week was more than depressing.
Watching the MSM carry on both publicizing and criticizing at the same time the snake-oil salesmen in the White House is quite frankly just mind numbing.
