The Wealthiest Parts Of Beverly Hills-- Where Greed And Selfishness Trump Humanity-- Voted Fascist Last Tuesday

  Los Feliz, where I live, is an old L.A. neighborhood, originally a Spanish land-grant to corporal José Vicente Feliz. The birthplace of Disney Studios (and home of Walt Disney) and the West Coast headquarters of ABC, Los Feliz was the original Beverly Hills. The other day a friend came over for a little hike in the neighborhood, the only way I've gotten together with friends since March. The election was over but hadn't been called for Biden yet.

The End Of Civics Classes = The End Of American Democracy?

  Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that the Justice Department is preparing for civil unrest and violence at polling states in November. I don't think that ever happened before-- at least not since I was born. And you wouldn't be off base if you pointed out that that's a uniquely Trumpian thing.

But he's still the best of the TV news and opinion shows even without the laughs.As you know, we've been writing a lot about vote by mail, but not as well as John Oliver has this week. As he notes, Missouri Governor Mike Parson (R) is an asshole.

Opening Up Early Could Cause The U.S. Caseload To Spike-- Gigantically In Just One Month

Yesterday, one of the floating death trap companies, Carnival, announced it is planning to start up it's watery killing machines again on August 1. There will be 8 ships sailing out of Florida and Texas. They hope the experiment goes well enough-- I wonder hat the metrics are-- so that they can get the whole fleet sailing by the end of August. Anyone want to take bets on that?
