When a country full of guns has made it breathtakingly easy for any angry person to don the ICE "uniform" and impersonate an agent of the state, there is no longer public order. Incredibly dangerous.

Volunteering at the local folk music festival in the 90s, my badge got a bit mangled. My first name is Tom and my last name starts with "P" and has an "n.". I met Billy Bragg and said I was a huge fan. He replied, in that big accent, "Is your name Tom Paine??? That would be funny, wouldn't it?"

Same! The new production team is getting really weird about their attempts to milk the brand. "The Jeopardy Tournament of Champions Second Wild Card Semi-Final which will determine two entrants into the Season Finale of The Wild Card Tournament of Champions." It doesn't even make sense any more!

Srsly--"pop culture" Jeopardy is just a gross excuse to lower the advertising demo beyond the hip replacement crowd by pandering to the Dunning-Kruger crowd...
