This reminds me, I used to be OBSESSED with this one recording of this ultra-conservative American politician singing. I think I first saw it when Michael Moore made fun of it in one of his documentaries, and for sure it is a piece of nationalist rubbish, but there's just something about it. The painful honesty of his pride, his disturbingly good singing, the comically bad lyrics, the clearly well rehearsed moments when he let's seemingly natural sighs fall into the song, this really bad video which focuses so much on the American flag because of course it does, the absurdity of the fucking Attourney General serenading an unimpressed audience ... dare I say it's camp?

Library funding becomes the 'nuclear option' as the battle over books escalates

Some libraries are now facing an existential threat: They could lose their public funding over books deemed inappropriate for young readers.

An Ashcroft is doing things I find incredibly threatening to the cause of an inclusive and kinder society.

What year is this again?

Every time I Google someone I vaguely remember from "the oughts" for terrible reasons, I start having a sneaking suspicion that other than the violent mob attempting to stop the electoral count vote, the Bush Administration was actually worse in almost every conceivable way than the Trump Administration and a mix of repression, forgetting, and Trump's boorishness just made it seem worse than the calculated, competent but polite viciousness of the Bush years.

The more ridiculous something is in politics - say, a dead man winning an election - the higher the chance of Robin Williams having addressed it in the past.
