Is there anything that could shock the conscience of a court these days? I'm thinking not, even where there's a discernible conscience to be found. We got some thoughts on that, plus a bunch of music which I may or may not have enjoyed.

Today's second post at the sort of inimitable Bad Crow Review includes a return to the editorial pages of The Washington Post, ever more similar to those of the Wall Street Journal, which long ago fled to an alternate reality that now threatens our own.

Trump's UN speech was deranged, cruel, bigoted, bizarre and crammed to the max with bullshit but it was also, much to my surprise, almost uniformly coherent. Also some Japanese tunes for your listening pleasure.
