    I think I’d better stop there.

  2. Jazz for Cows. Well, when I raised hogs in my younger years they always appreciated my singing in the barn. They were the only ones who did.

  3. peterj: hump day has a completely different meaning in the middle east, especially regarding camels. a recent news article actually showed an arab man kissing his camel even after the health ministry warned about possible exposure to camel related mers coronavirus.

    “White and Black Hats”
    “The Huffington Post raises the alarm. “A man once banned from Britain for his extreme views set to be prime minister of 1.25 billion people.” But if there was shock there was also hasty acceptance. Reuters writes, “U.S. President Barack Obama congratulated new Indian leader Narendra Modi on his election victory on Friday and invited him to the White House, even though he was barred from the country less than 10 years ago over massacres of Muslims.” Maybe the lesson is that power absolves all.”

  6. More Belmont Club by the inimitable Richard Fernandez.
    “In Copp’s view journalism — and perhaps one might speculate the whole liberal establishment by extension — died of overconfidence and hubris. They became dinosaurs;…”.

    “When did the music die? Hendrik Hertzberg writes wistfully in the New Yorker about the ‘good old days’, before the Internet ruined everything. “Believe it or not, Newsweek had a San Francisco bureau—not just a stringer working out of his apartment but a real bureau, a four-man, full-time bureau in a comfortable, well-equipped, town-house-like office suite near the Embarcadero.” He recalls.
    Start with the accommodations. After a few nights in a really nice hotel (the St. Francis, on Union Square, at company expense) and a few weeks in a grubby, furnished room in Chinatown, I landed a dream sublet halfway up Telegraph Hill—big windows, top-floor patio, view of the Golden Gate Bridge on one side and the Bay Bridge on the other. Plus, it came with the loan of a car, a ’59 Pontiac as big and unwieldy as a barge on wheels.
    Now what have you got? A cellphone and a lousy Chromebook at a Starbucks — and the cellphone and the Chromebook are both probably tapped by the NSA.
    But there’s an alternative view, as exemplified by former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps. Writing in the Columbia Journalism Review Copps says, ‘I killed journalism’ by helping it become a monopoly. “Dear Journalists: You may wonder why a long-time regulator like me is writing to you. The answer is that for more than a decade I occupied a front-row seat watching government policy undermine your profession and our democracy.””

    “From the desk of a former FCC Commissioner
    Journalists need to generate a national discussion on the future of the internet”
    “Sizzling mad When Michael J. Copps took his seat on the FCC in 2001, he joined a Democratic minority that found itself on the losing end of federal battles over media consolidation.”
    “Dear Journalists: You may wonder why a long-time regulator like me is writing to you.”

    “Obamacare is a cemetery littered with skeletons. There was the brouhaha over whether you can keep your doctor. You want a doctor? California is considering a bill that would allow illegal aliens to practice medicine.
    Now if you don’t want to be treated by an illegal alien doctor, there’s always the “physician assistant”. Forbes writes:…”.
    “Administrations absolutely swamped by scandal have a defense unavailable to more competent administrations: dense pack. ”Dense pack” is a term used to describe a strategy proposed during the Cold War to deploy American ICBMs so close together that Soviet missiles trying to target them would run into each other in a process called ‘fratricide’. The Obama administration’s primary defense against any scandal taking root is that it must inevitably be displaced next week by a new one. So nothing lasts. All anyone can do is Move On.
    The Financial Times actually believes that a Veteran’s Administration scandal may taint president Obama in a way that Benghazi, IRS, the AP wiretapping scandal, Egypt, Iran, Syria, Libya, Ukraine and Obamacare could not. In an article filled with outrage the writer thinks, this time it sticks. Why should it? Dense pack is alive and well.”
