Later Sunday Afternoon

I posted earlier that I expected Alex Jones would denounce the whole tragedy in Charlottesville a "false flag" operation that was set up to make his people look bad. And sure enough, he has. I also expected people to start trashing the victim, Heather Heyer. And sure enough, some sites have. So many people these days are incapable of accepting bad news for what it is.

And as usual, we have lots of calls for "unity" and to "bring us together" from folks whose idea of unity is that the other side surrenders to theirs while they don't give an inch or admit having done anything wrong. This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm going to try to stop thinking about all this for the rest of the day. You might like to see if you can do that.
