   You know how you can tell the editors and reporters are amateurs? They use the word “stochastic” and put it in bold like it means something, like they’re trying hard to score points.

   You’re just going to have to believe me that after fifteen years I know lots more about than they do. And, believe me, where the rubber meets the road and you want people to understand, such words don’t come up.

   Anyway, the NYT did an in depth profile on the man tonight and there’s no whitewashng the background, one that predisposed the man to violence, inspired in the belief that his ideas were shared by people on tv every day.

   Pretentious vocabulary aside, I do think that the larger point holds. We have persons in our polity who are suborning terrorism while keeping themselves distanced from the results of said subornation.

   I wonder whether the lunacy had reached the point that big media might have the courage to confront the contemporary Republican Par–oh, never mind.
