Theocracies can be such nasty ass places. ‘Amnesty International said in its report on executions in 2025 that it knew of at least 17 public executions — 11 in Iran and 6 in Afghanistan.’ www.npr.org/2026/10/09/g...

As a ‘Shavian Patron ‘ we recommend this fine presentation of Fall Americana Storytelling produced by the Washington Stage Guild. A fine warm up for the upcoming Season. Who knew that Washington Irving wrote books on Spain’s history,and served as Ambassador to Spain? stageguild.org/stage-guild-...

‘Never,never,never believe any war will be smooth+ easy,or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides +hurricanes he will encounter.The statesman who yields to war fever must realize…he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable+ uncontrollable events.’

A war that was intended to demonstrate the reach of American power has now done the opposite. It is a lesson in unintended consequences.

Went down to see ‘The Score.’ Pretty good. Lots of IDEAS about music and religion and art and power and sons and fathers. And portions were affecting. But- You know- a play of ideas doesn’t have to declare stuff with every line. E.g…..Hamlet C+ Program here- online.fliphtml5.com/rqlu/The-Sco...

Definitely there now, ain’t we? Most beautiful time of the year, said a father to his son, who said the same thing to his own son.

1/ Over the weekend, there was a reported case of plague in Russia. I’m seeing a lot of rumors about the event being spread without facts to back it up, so I wanted to jump on here to break down what we do and don’t know about this situation and whether or not you should be concerned.

BTW- and with all do respect for your Dad, I worked a 2pm to 10:30pm shift in a cereal factory in Minnesota, and recent graduate college boy I was, I thought it was awesome. Emphasis on Single, College Boy.

My mother (a college graduate, with her 2 sisters also college graduates- and the rest would have too much detail), once said to me, a college boy, ‘Don’t get too smartass or high and mighty about yourself. You had two hardworking grandfathers- one an immigrant, and one off a farm in Northern VA.’

Thanks, Bud! Been on an Alex Cortright jag in the morning these last few weeks. Gotta make sure I switch back to KEXP at 10 in the morning!

At this moment I hear, ‘Can you hear the people sing?’, so I know it’s my time to get off of the machine and go wash some Friday night dishes. And watch a baseball game, maybe.

Impeachment is the answer. Hard core impeachment and referral to the Senate. Leave the preppy his Summer vacations.

Buddy- I hear those bands on WTMD, or KEXP, and then I just go to the shows I happen to read about. I haven’t followed up on your guys latest favorite station, yet. ;-)

Dang. Plenty of regret to go around.

I think you might be right!

Do you think the de-Nazitification of Germany has any lessons for US leaders seeking to de-Trumptificate the U.S. in the future? AI suggests NARA RG 260, Records of the Office of Military Government, United States (OMGUS), containing policy directives, etc. on the implementation of denazification.

Just thinking a bit more- Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy were co-headliners, and perhaps SM were the last band for the home crowd. Lotta thinking, Rob! ;-)
