YOU KNOW, THIS WHOLE IMPEACHMENT THING IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE BEST REALITY SHOW OF 2020:

OPEN THREAD: Show your work.

A SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: Florida man who spat on Florida man with MAGA hat gets jail time.

21ST CENTURY HEADLINES: Dynetics, Sierra Nevada bidding on Artemis lunar lander. Though if things had been done right, they’d be late-20th Century headlines.

GO AWAY, KID, YA BOTHER ME. Greta Snaps Over Demands: ‘We Want This Done Now – As In Right Now.’

Oh: “I want it now!”

DAVID GOLDMAN: How fragile is Iran’s regime? “Few countries have endured this level of deprivation outside of full war mobilization, and few have seen such a drastic decline in the number of births. The only modern comparison is Venezuela. Governments with a monopoly of economic resources and the willingness to kill significant numbers of their own citizens can stay in power for quite some time, but there seems no question that Iran’s regime is fragile and prone to destabilization.”

IT’S SATIRE, BUT IS IT REALLY? Trudeau Apologizes for Airliner Full of Canadians That Hit Innocent Iranian Missile.

LITTLE MIKEY CAN’T DRAW A CROWD: Small showing for Bloomberg rally with Judge Judy despite campaign’s big spending. “Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg claims he is ready to spend more than $1 billion in an effort to oust President Trump, but money may not be bringing supporters to his campaign. Just 45 people showed up to Bloomberg’s latest rally with TV star Judge Judy Sheindlin in Texas on Saturday.”

The worst problem for Bloomberg is that he’s spending huge sums on TV ads, but when he’s on them and talks, he’s such a turnoff. Zero charisma.

I’M (SARAH A. HOYT) IN THIS ANTHOLOGY, AND IT’S ON SALE FOR 99C THIS WEEKEND:  Parallel Worlds: The Heroes Within.

It includes a lot of other “little known” writers, such as Jim Butcher.  Honestly, great buy and I should have linked earlier, but I was struck down by stomach flu and am just now returning to human. So, get it while it’s cheap!

PAJAMA BOY IS NO DOUBT A VEGAN: Low-fat diet linked to lower testosterone levels in men.

RAND SIMBERG: Socialists In Space: Opening a frontier is hard. It’s even harder when you’re a socialist.

BECAUSE COMMUNISM SUCKS: Why Does China Have 1.4 Billion People and No Good Bands?

Frank Zappa knew this: “Every socialistic type of government… produces bad art, produces social inertia, produces really unhappy people, and it’s more repressive than any other kind of government.”

NEO ON SUSAN HENNESSEY: Caught in the Crossfire Crossfire.

Yeah, Susan, sure thing. But when you use “crossfire” to refer to the actual, literal shooting down of an airplane you’re not using the word that way. You’re just not, and the fact that you’re trying to make it seem as though you were only makes it even more clear how disingenuous you are being. This situation involved no firing from two points in which the line of fire crossed, nor one in which the forces of the sides met or clashed, and it most certainly was not the rapid or heated exchange of words.

JOURNALIST DOXES POPULAR TWITTER ACCOUNT @NEONTASTER, WHITE NATIONALISTS REJOICE.

As the Corbynization of the Democratic Party continues apace, it’s as if the mainstream left and the alt-right are mirror images of each other, or something.

NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES. SOME WEAR SHELLS. This playboy tortoise had so much sex he saved his entire species.

TRUMP ADVISER SCHOOLS CHUCK TODD ON IRANIAN THREAT, CALLS OUT PRO-IRAN MEDIA.

ROD DREHER: Sir Roger Scruton Is Dead. Dreher quotes this passage from Scruton:

The witch-hunting hysteria has returned with a vengeance, not in Eastern Europe but here, where open enquiry and the presumption of innocence have been, until this moment, the foundation of moral order and the guarantee of civil peace.

Even the Divinity School at Cambridge, which once bravely helped us in offering degrees to our students, has joined in the witch-hunt, revoking a fellowship offered to the conservative thinker Jordan Peterson in response to a petition littered with the signatures of ignorant snowflakes.

And when, just a few months ago, I was summarily removed as the (unpaid) head of a Government quango – Building Better, Building Beautiful – for things I had neither thought nor said, my Czech colleagues said: ‘Yes, it is starting again.’ And by ‘it’ they really did mean It.

Now in Britain, as then in Czechoslovakia, the true intellectual is a dissident, and if our national memory is to survive, it will be because we have succeeded in building here, as once we built there, an underground university devoted to knowledge.

So don’t.’”
