After public outrage over Kathy Griffin posting a photo of herself holding a mock-up severed head resembling that of Donald Trump, CNN have finally listened to the public and have said that Griffin will no longer host its New Year’s Eve program.
Griffin apologised for ‘crossing a line’, but how could she really be so naive as to not know she was producing an image that was not only incredibly obscene but carried an imply threat of inspiring people to commit acts of bodily harm to the President of the United States?
On May 25, Libertarian candidate Mark Wicks won six percent of the vote in Montana's special election for the state's only U.S. House seat. His vote fell shy of beating Republican Greg Gianforte’s seven point lead over Democrat Rob Quist, but the fact that Libertarians are regularly pushing up against, or exceeding, margins of victory in U.S. Senate, U.S. House, gubernatorial, and even presidential races makes their proposals and their voters impossible to ignore.

Yet as his investigation unfolded, interviewing people such as the staff at the hotel near the O’Hare airport, to people on the plane, Pat began to come to the realization that OJ was not the murder.

Have you heard "Tin Foil Hat" by Todd Rundgren and Donald Fagen yet? That's it above-- a beautifully-produced homage to Señor Trumpanzee's manifest unfitness for office, on Rundgren's new collaboration album, White Knight.

At the end of 13 Reasons Why, there is a highly symbolic moment in which Hannah walks into the movie theater, turns in her uniform, and walks out the door. This scene shows what it means to give up on something at which you are succeeding because you cannot handle the failures that exist outside that space. She was brutally victimized by the other half of life, the part that exists outside the civilized, courteous, and adult environment of the workplace. Her work provided her solace, but it was not enough to overcome the impossible odds against her in school.

Days ago, Moldova expelled 5 Russian diplomats from the country in a move that remains unexplained.
The move incurred the fierce condemnation of Moldovan President Igor Dodon who described the move by his own Foreign Ministry in the following way,

In the last two years, there's been an avalanche of news on the "rise of nationalism." But Nationalism hasn't become dominant recently, it's been dominant without interruption for at least a century and a half.
Ingmar Persson och Per BauhnVi omfattar vissa normer och värderingar, och dessa får oss att sträva efter att handla på ett visst sätt. Per Bauhn kallar det för normativ identitet. Ingmar Persson ifrågasätter begreppet.En grundläggande tes i moralfilosofi är den som brukar kallas för Humes lag: Man kan inte gå från ett ”är” till ett ”bör”. Att något är på ett visst sätt säger ingenting om huruvida det är bra eller dåligt att det är så. Att människor föds med olika förutsättningar och begåvningar innebär till exempel inte att de också bör behandlas olika.

Our minds can’t conceive of the hundreds of millions of civilian and soldier lives that have been lost in war. “Such a shame,” we say about it. And then we watch the military parade walk by, and we cheer the flag and the military.
While it’s impossible to precisely calculate the costs from global warming, they range from macro threats such as massive shore erosion and mass dislocations of people to micro ones like lost sleep, writes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar. By Paul…Read more →

Political forces are moving, and for them, democracy, law, institutions, the economy and ultimately the people are merely tools. No price is too high, no move is too dirty.

The GA-06 special election is June 20th-- three weeks from yesterday. And yesterday was the first day of early voting there. The ad up top was just put up on local TV to the tune of $500,000 by Pelosi's SuperPAC. Or more important, who is it speaking to? Who is it not saying a word to?
