Doonesbury cartoon. A well-dressed woman is speaking on the phone. Panel 1: 'I'm sorry, but Rick's not home. May I ask who's calling?' 'Halberstam. David Halberstam. I want to interview him for my next book..' Panel 2: 'Rick? For a book? What sort of books do you write, Mr. Halberstam?' 'I write tomes. Tomes about power. Tomes like "The Best and the Brightest," and "The Powers That Be."' Panel 3: 'They're massive books, big, very big, towering best sellers, 750 pages, sometimes more, that's how big they are. The kind of books about which men like to say, "I own them."' Panel 4: 'Oh. Do these men read them?' 'Very few. Only the best.'

When somebody says they want to help out "the coal industry," they mean the owners, not the workers. Coal is never going to employ a lot of workers again.

Peak coal employment was in 1923. Peak coal output was in 2008.

The dissonance runs very deep.
Pizzagate conspiracist Jack Posobiec, meanwhile, was visibly irate over the tweets about Vance and immigrants before attempting to exert on-air pressure on Pope Leo XIV to openly support Trump. "We need to see from the jump, from the absolute jump, whether or not Pope Leo is interested in working with President Trump or—as we can see from his Twitter feed—working against him," he said during the broadcast of his Real America's Voice show. "As a representative of Catholics all around the world, perhaps he'll understand that it was Catholics who delivered the White House for President Trump," he concluded. "And perhaps, just perhaps, the new pope will listen."

Film poster for The Manhattan Project (1986), which was set in Ithaca, NY. A boy stands with a bicycle. He is carrying a box in his hand. He is silhouetted against the lights of many police cars and helicopters in the background. Text: Paul Stevens' high school science project has gotten a little out of hand. He just built an atomic bomb. Now he's got 11 hours to make sure it doesn't work.
