From the Daily Stoic:
The line from George Bernard Shaw was that “all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” He isn’t wrong.

The author of this piece from the Los Angeles Times is scratching his head over the fact that Fox News ratings crashed on Tuesday (Manafort/Cohen Day) vs. MSNBC and CNN. (more…)
Here’s a piece of much-needed comic relief, illustrating how, in the words of Bob Dylan, things have changed. (more…)
Trump is heavily implicated in a felony, people on both sides of the political spectrum are calling for his resignation/impeachment, and Fox News is offering recipes for Labor Day party coleslaw. Seems par for the course. (more…)
