COMCAST springs the trap. Or maybe HBO.

Though I don't subscribe, right up through episode six I have been watching HBO's True Detective on COMCAST's On Demand.

Tonight the gate came down, as I knew it eventually would, and to watch past or future episodes I must now subscribe.

Like Hell, I will.

America's most dangerous immigrant

He ought to be deported in chains.

"Sexual misconduct"

Why is this a crime?

Christian sex rules.

Man arrested for sex with a cow

Awfully hard to believe the cow was hurt.

Communism, of a most un-Marxist kind, not entirely dead

India Maoists kill seven policemen

You remember Marx?

The revolt that ends history, the exploitation of man by man, class society, and the state is the revolt of the industrial proletariat?

That guy?

Not a lot of him in Mao.

Or Castro, really, when you think of it.

A lot less in Guzman and really none at all in Pol Pot.

Marx, of course, was bad enough.

But it all really started to go to Hell with Lenin.

Such slender evidence

On the testimony of sixteen Korean women the accusation of so vast a crime is considered proved?

Japan to examine sex slave apology

Historians as overzealous prosecutors?

How much of what passes for history is false?

Victor's history, especially?

Well, what do we think of newspaper accounts and personal memoirs?

What do we think of trial evidence or jury verdicts?

People are such liars.

And boobs into the bargain, who believe such fantastic absurdities, or anyway will swear they do, and even risk their lives for them, whether religious, moral, political - or historical.

Which, of course, does not mean it didn't happen.

But historians, journos, witnesses, and the machinery of law enforcement insist far too much that we others can know what happened - or at least believe beyond a reasonable doubt - when what is actually reasonable is so often and so obviously just withholding judgment.

They are far too interested, taking things all in all, to be taken very seriously, are they not?

As to China's new V-J Day, why September 3rd and not 2nd?

And why did they take so long to establish an official commemoration day?

Just another part of the machinery of left wing globalism

Some might call it left wing imperialism.

Spain curbs judges' worldwide remit

Exactly who you would have guessed is for it or against it.

Another Crimean War?

'Russians occupy' Crimea airports

US, stay out of this crisis.

World's policeman?

To Hell with that.

The scariest part

The scariest part about ageing is the added costs

No, it's not.

It's the danger of Alzheimers.

Or the danger of physical incapacity and dependency.

Or just running out of money.

"Old age is a shipwreck."

- Charles de Gaulle.

"I have always relied on the kindness of strangers."

- Blanche DuBois.

And we know how that worked out.

Obama the race man. The American racial spoils system

Obama backs minority youth outreach

No, not any or every minority.

Only Hispanic and black youths.

He says their high criminality, sexual irresponsibility, and exceptionally stupid life choices are a moral issue.

He does not mean their behavior is morally damnable but that everybody else has a duty, society has a duty, the country has a duty to try to improve the behavior of future black and Hispanic youths so they will be less dramatically inferior in so many ways to whites, East Asians, South Asians, Middle Easterners, and in fact just about everybody else.

Not that they have failed themselves, you understand.

Not even that their parents, communities, or community leaders have failed them.

Everybody else has failed them.

The same Obama who has several times offered to throw the mostly white elderly under the bus for Republicans (chained CPI, privatization) and has already hurt them by undermining Medicare Advantage programs.

An unexpected and unwanted form of spreading the wealth around.

Did he throw in the Hispanics just for cover?

Phony insult, phony outrage

Anything to feed the daily hate.
