Must-read Lockdown Summer Book #2: The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America
Celebrities are famous for being famous. Media need to be feed news, and politicians are willing to toss a bone 24/7. It’s not hard. All they have to do is predict that news of any kind is going to happen at any minute, and that becomes the headline. Sen. Eugene McCarthy, leader of the communist witchhunt in the…

Say What?
The fun of Donald Trump and His Assult on Truth by the Washington Post fact-checkers is its encyclopedic organization of the disorganization that is #TrumpsBrain.
Summer Must-Reads Pt. 1.
Quick! What scandal or crisis did #Trump set off precisely one week ago? You have no idea. Neither do we.
And if we think we know, we start to ask if it’s just a nightmare. Well, it’s not. The nightmare is Trump.

Is some idiot driving you insane?
Is some idiot driving you insane?
Blame the founding fathers. Yes, they get credit for ripping a page out of the ancient Greek playbook when it came to blueprinting our republic, but they left out the best part.
In the fifth century B.C.E., ostracism was all the rage in Athens and it meant more than shunning someone. It was about chosing a jerk to kick out of the country for ten years, and warning the winner that an early…

Or Did We?
Or Did We? The death of Christo might have been bigger news this week, had we not collectively put on a bigger show than he and Jeanne-Claude ever imagined.
Reichstag by Christo
Christo was one part landscaper, one part visual artist and two parts performance artist. He was able to bring awareness, anticipation and a payoff to seemingly pointless projects — wrapping a building, encircling an island, or draping a park.
Public awareness of his plans might build from a filler piece in a newspaper. That tiny blurb about some outlandish idea like…

AP Fact Check Favorites 15 Feb 2020: The "Teacher, leave us kids alone" Edition
 The highlight of today’s AP Fact Check:
THE WALL
TRUMP: “You do know who’s paying for the wall, don’t you? Redemption from illegal aliens that are coming. The redemption money is paying for the wall.” — New Hampshire rally Monday.
THE FACTS: To date, the money is coming from the U.S. treasury, meaning today’s taxpayers and the future ones who will inherit the federal debt. To the extent any…

5 More Reasons to Hate the Phone Company
The title of the article that started all the ruckus appeared in the London Guardian, and was headlined, “Language at risk of dying out — the last two speakers aren’t talking.” Technically, when the last speaker of a language dies, it’s classified as extinct. This headline came across like something in between, a kind of linguistic TKO.
The article, which ran in 2011, was based on a story…

Happy Genocide Day!
Are we supposed to celebrate a lost navigator or the resulting genocide today?
Of course it’s true that Columbus was an illegal immigrant. Science has an airtight record of people migrating to this hemisphere. Migrating is crucial to the distinction – it means they came to a land that had no government to apply for citizenship. So, they formed their own nations. On the other hand, anyone who enters someone else’s country is either a visitor or, if they won’t leave and won’t…

The charges span about three years and involve some 75 adoptions. Investigators also found eight pregnant women from the Marshall Islands in raids of his properties…

PIGEON POOPS ON LAWMAKER’S HEAD WHILE HE ADDRESSED A PIGEON POOP PROBLEM ---- From the AP: A pigeon apparently didn’t think much of a lawmaker’s ideas to address a messy situation at a Chicago Transit Authority stop known by some as “pigeon poop station.” WBBM-TV reports that one of the birds did its business on the head of Democratic state Rep. Jaime Andrade as he was discussing the problem with a reporter outside of the Irving Park Blue Line station.
Where Would Be Without Refugees?
Immigration and migration are, historically, the first line of defense against poverty and starvation. For those facing unsurmountable odds, being a refugee is the first line of defense against being murdered.
The world is populated with 7.5 billion people who never asked to be here, never asked to be born where they are, and for many reasons have to relocate. Immigration and migration are, historically, the first line of defense against poverty and starvation. For those facing unsurmountable odds, being a refugee is the first line of defense against being murdered.

And What Was So Wrong With This?
And What Was So Wrong With This?
We made this video right before the last election and thought it would be great for the Hillary campaign.
They didn’t really pick it up. Strike the word “really” in that sentence.  They didn’t pick it up at all.
Looking back, we can’t figure out why.  Maybe they thought it was an exaggeration. Today, it seems kind of like an understatement.
Well, decide for yourself.

Fact Check: Would this really help?
4 to 7 billion trees are cut down every year, according to IntactForests Organization. According to Worldometers, there have been 44 million deaths this year. So as catchy as this meme is, it would take 159 years to replenish one year’s worth of deforestation.
And there’s another problem. 28% of trees are cut down for agricultural reasons since the net gain of the population is about 200k per day.
