Riot Act Reading

I know I said for the time being, as my wife recovers, I'm going to limit blog posts to article announcements and the like. I'm breaking my own rule here, but this is, after all, my blog. 

I just got done watching the pre-ordained Chauvin "guilty" verdicts and I saw something I considered curious about CBS News' go-to guy for their after-action discussion, Lorenzo Boyd, the University of New Haven's VP for Diversity and Inclusion and CDO. I wonder how many noticed what I did on his bookshelf:

This revised and enlarged edition of the leading anthology provides the essential writings of Marx and Engels--those works necessary for an introduction to Marxist thought and ideology.

Like I said, I just find the good doctor's literary interests and CBS News' choice of him as the reasoned voice of urban justice a mite curious, especially in light of "trained Marxists" heading up Black Lives Matter.

Eh, I'm probably making something out of nothing. It's not like "our friends across the aisle" are getting more brazenly in-your-face about their intentions, is it?

And no, sorry, this doesn't mean I'm back to blogging as normal, so please continue to hold back on newslink tips. I probably will, though, as time permits, add occasional posts like this when I see something that I don't see anybody else commenting on and happen to have a couple minutes to spare.

‘Aggressively Centric’ McConaughey May as Well Be a ‘Leftist’ on the Right to Arms

 

Supposedly adult Americans exercising their right of self-determination vote for celebrities based on all they know about them—which is generally “informed” by scripted, directed, optimally angled, and lighted images projected on a screen, and on the gushing praise of publicists. That they would cede great powers based on professionally-manipulated illusions speaks more to starry-eyed childishness than anything else. [More]

Ultimately, it's citizenship malpractice that gives political power to stage props like this.
