The Post-Kirk Clampdown
America’s new cancel culture has arrived. Any remaining doubts about that were laid to rest on 17 September 2025, when a federal government official used the lingo of a mob boss to demand the removal of a comedian from the air for saying things that the US president didn’t like. Within hours, the private TV network responsible for broadcasting the offending show had complied, conscious that failure to do so would put its business interests at risk.

A Modest Case for the Case Against Trump
The merits of prosecuting Donald Trump for hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels were debated even before the indictment came down, and that debate certainly hasn’t cooled since Trump appeared in court Tuesday. The most illuminating document, though, is not the indictment itself but the statement of facts in support of the indictment. That statement of facts describes a case that, depending on the quality of the evidence offered to support it, may be stronger than many critics think.
The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair is one of the all-time greats in the world of professional wrestling. Ric Flair has not wrestled an official match since 2011 when he faced another pro wrestling legend in Sting.

Nothing came of that meeting, but nearly a month later it would appear that the Saints are bringing Mathieu back to his hometown to play professional football.

Writing Compiler Front-Ends for LLVM with Lua using Mewa
LLVM IR text representation makes it possible to write a compiler front-end without being bound to an API. We can map the source text to the text of LLVM IR and use the tools of the Clang compiler for further compilation steps. This opens the doors to implement compiler front-ends in different ways. Mewa tries to optimize the amount of code written.
Donald Trump Turned Me into a Mugwump
Voting for Joe Biden is almost like voting against Trump twice. Published October 30, 2020 Nobody could believe this disreputable nincompoop had actually won the Republican nomination for the presidency of the United States. Seemingly everyone had assailed the candidate as dishonest and shady throughout the campaign, and as a result the intelligentsia agreed that he had no chance.

Donald Trump Turned Me into a Mugwump
Nobody could believe this disreputable nincompoop had actually won the Republican nomination for the presidency of the United States. Seemingly everyone had assailed the candidate as dishonest and shady throughout the campaign, and as a result the intelligentsia agreed that he had no chance. All the newspapers, including the conservative ones, held the candidate in contempt—and they all backed up their denunciations with copious evidence and reasoned argument.
They Sure Do Look Guilty
As I watch the impeachment proceedings unfold, I'm struck by how much the behavior of President Trump resembles that of a guilty criminal defendant — and how the antics of his defenders resemble those of bad defense lawyers, stuck with the unenviable task of defending against an overwhelming criminal case. I've been a prosecutor for over 22 years (I speak today in my personal capacity, not for my office), and I've encountered all kinds of defendants, defense lawyers, and defenses.
They Sure Do Look Guilty
A prosecutor’s seasoned view of the Republican performance in the matter of Trump’s impeachment As I watch the impeachment proceedings unfold, I’m struck by how much the behavior of President Trump resembles that of a guilty criminal defendant — and how the antics of his defenders resemble those of bad defense lawyers, stuck with the unenviable task of defending against an overwhelming criminal case.
Even the Innocent Can Look Guilty
A response to Patrick Frey To make a point about the conundrum facing Stephen Castor, U.S. House Intelligence Committee Counsel for the Republican minority, 22-year-prosecutor Patrick Frey snuck in a dig earlier today right here in these pages. Defendants often have no real defense based on the facts and merits. So they and their lawyers try to make a simple, straightforward question seem very, very complicated. They attack the process. They scream that the prosecution is engaged in a witch hunt.

The Smollett “Deal” Was Not Normal
None of this is normal On Tuesday, the Cook County state’s attorney dismissed 16 felony charges against Empire actor Jussie Smollett. Smollett, as you’ll recall, claimed in January that he was the victim of a hate crime perpetrated by Trump-supporting white guys who put a rope around his neck, hurled racial and anti-gay slurs at him, yelled “This is MAGA country!” and covered him in some kind of chemical.
Fall Ain't Nothin' But Summer With Pumpkins, Y'all
Let's talk for a minute about what living in the Deep South does to people. Because it kinda makes us crazy. And amazing. The most important thing people need to understand is that everything is pretty much fake around here. This is because nothing is really real in any way that matters. Take seasons, for example. The South doesn't have them.

Pearl Jam Honor John McCain, Tom Petty at Fenway Park
"No more divisiveness, no more divisiveness," Eddie Vedder sang in an improvised vamp during Pearl Jam 's "Blood," last night at the first of two sold-out shows at Boston's Fenway Park. It was a powerful moment, and it seemed to be a theme of last night's show.

Rock's Most Repetitive Songs Rock's Most Repetitive Songs
Repetition can be a powerful thing — it helps you emphasize a point, bringing home your thought with force and authority. It can also be mind-numbing — you've made your point once; why repeat it? Martin Luther King, Jr. used repetition in his "I have a dream" speech, and it was mesmerizing; Steve Perry sings "Na-na-nana-na" in "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," and leaves you wondering if the record skipped. Those are, admittedly, two extremes of any conversation on repetition.
