Yesterday, I still didn’t have all my electrics and electronics working, which made progress slow. Addition after scheduling: Rolling Stone<\/a> has more on the decision to “suspend” Kimmel. It’s not pretty.<\/p>\n

When you get good political news from Louisiana, you pay attention. Nancy Landry doesn’t appear to be any relation to Jeff (the governor) or Mitch (former mayor of New Orleans, who also spelled it “Landrieu,” probably the original spelling) – it’s just a prominent New Orleans name for so long that any relationships are too distant to trace. In any case, the statistics she provides are consistent with the Brennan Center’s own numbers, and I trust the Brennan Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From The F* News<\/a>. I just don’t know what to say about this. I’m speechless. Being speechless is happening more often for me because so much that is happening is just inconceivable (and I do know what that means. I even looked it up.)<\/p>\n

I don’t know of anyone who is always right. In fact, that would almost certainly be impossible. But given Malcolm Nance<\/a>‘s experience and expertise, I take any warning from him seriously.<\/p>\n
