Good morning. Here’s a song.
Georgia
- 15 dead in Albany, despite the courageous efforts of first responders
- One last piece of awful news
- Who am I kidding? In the meantime, drown your sorrows in the least depressing place on Earth- a casino! Georgia legal! Maybe. Probably.
- NFL jackwagons won’t let Mayor Reed show the Superb Owl in the Dome
- “No County for Vile Men” is pretty good
- Governor Deal visits Fort Gordon
- Legislative preview, courtesy of the ITP crowd
- “Applebee’s racial slur case” should probably be called “dude pulled a gun on a guy” case
Lesser Places
- Breathe.
- On the other hand, INVADE CHICAGO
- Wall, soundtrack already provided. I’d heartily recommend you buy the whole album, and make Charlie pay for it
- And the much-vaunted “Muslim ban,” which is actually increased restrictions on visa holders and halt on refugees from seven countries between Iran and Libya
- David Brooks has some thoughts, for whatever that’s worth
- Megan McArdle also has thoughts, and hers are less about confirming her priors
- And with all that, one last deep sigh, one I’ll be thinking about for years: The Cautionary Tale of Samantha Power
- And a shot of joy for the road: three puppies were rescued from rubble in Italy.
Keep your heads, everyone. Things can’t continue at this tone for long.
