Part of the reason the collective memory of Iraq & Afghanistan is so fucked: the people who made the decisions were allowed to shape how the history was written. They were not punished; their opinions continue to be taken seriously; they still hold jobs and positions of honor/influence.

At the time of the events of Lord of the Rings, Middle Earth has been experiencing FIVE THOUSAND years of economic decline. Is it any wonder that some people were turning to Sauron, who for all his faults was at least a different kind of politician?

If there's one thing the Trump parade has taught me, it's that putting on a real piece of state pageantry is hard and requires actual planning and expertise. Leave it to Republicans to ignore this obvious fact. Also we used to be a proper country, with quality propaganda!

For anyone appreciating #obama today, I'd ask you to inform yourself on his factual presidency by reading my book, He Was Our Man in Washington. At least know what happened before you go appreciating!

Mel Brooks made exactly two classics. The rest ranged from solid to terrible. Odds are the Space Balls project won't be very interesting. Nice to see yet another artist jumping on the No New Ideas bandwagon tho!
