A Commitment To Ignorance June 30, 2021June 29, 2021 But first . . . > Are you an LGBT ally? Can you spare fifty bucks? Join Kamala Harris, Barbra Streisand, Whoopi, Andy, Billy, and more . . . tonight! . . . to celebrate Pride and keep Congress out of Trump’s hands. > RECAF touched $11 — giving us a 100-day quadruple — then abruptly dropped two bucks. The company responded. Playing with money I can truly afford to lose, I’m hanging on in hope of a further tentuple. > The vaccine kept this Brit from having to go to the hospital or the morgue. It was more like a bad flu. But he could have infected others had he not isolated. A cautionary tale. > Solving all our problems would take a magician. Maybe this one? (Thanks David!) And now . . . Paul Krugman asks, What Underlies The G.O.P. Commitment To Ignorance? As everyone knows, leftists hate America’s military. Recently, a prominent left-wing media figure attacked Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declaring, “He’s not just a pig, he’s stupid.” Oh, wait. That was no leftist, that was Fox News’s Tucker Carlson. What set Carlson off was testimony in which Milley told a congressional hearing that he considered it important “for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and widely read.” The problem is obvious. Closed-mindedness and ignorance have become core conservative values, and those who reject these values are the enemy, no matter what they may have done to serve the country. . . . A column worth reading (as Mark Milley’s two minutes are very much worth watching). Wait — what? You want more magic?
