I have avoided watching cable news since I quit politics after the Sanders 2016 campaign fizzled out. But the events of the last week and a half have provided the best comedy entertainment I have experienced since the death of Richard Pryor. I now keep the remote in my hand, switching every few minutes or so between Fox, CNN and MSNBC.

On anotther note, I did notice that domestic media is pinging a topic today that has been forbidden by the monopolies in recent years:

This is part 3 of the Seth Rich murder story. Between the last essay and this have come a verbal-pictorial avalanche of new information. It's a good thing I delayed in writing this, because many new facts have arisen and along with them, many new questions and possibilities.

Michael: Oh yeah? Ever gone a week without a rationalization? - The Big Chill
