Hey Leo, if you want me to reduce my carbon footprint, how about you stop leaving such a giant one, yourself?

Lots of happy people this week. The media are happy because just talking about war isn’t nearly as exciting as actually waging it. The defense industry is happy because the big bucks will once again roll in. Conservatives are happy because Obama finally grasped the fact that he was elected, twice, not to do the bidding of the people who voted for him, but to do the bidding of the people who voted against him.
Amazing how quickly we all stopped asking, “Should we bomb in Syria?” and leaped to “Who wants to join us?” Congress is home taking a nap, the media has a war woody, and the populace is afraid it will get its head chopped off while sleeping in bed.

I finally figured out the meaning behind the title of the FX series, The Bridge. Apparently, several characters have severe dental issues and must wear a bridge. I realized this when I noticed that Hank never moves his lips when he speaks, and neither does Mumble Mouth Linder (above), who is more incomprehensible than a drunken Tom Brokaw.
I am upset with FX because the network provides subtitles for all of the show’s Spanish speakers, but none for Hank and none for Mumble Mouth Linder.
