Kathleen Parker wrote an odd column for WaPo referencing PBO’s trip to Charleston today for Clementa Pinckney’s funeral. She starts off with pointless fretting about the certainty that the presidential visit will snarl traffic and disrupt local business. She worries about the possibility of “outside agitators.” She muses inanely about the rebel flag. It would be hard to miss the point more completely than our Ms Parker did.
In sharp contrast, the NYT published a wonderful piece on Mr. Pinckney. His mother named him after Roberto Clemente. He was a good and accomplished man, and it’s a testament to the cruelty and injustice of the universe that he was senselessly killed by an utterly worthless loser hopped up on hate and enabled by too easy access to guns. Though I doubt Mr. Pinckney would see it that way, as a man of faith. May he rest in peace.

I’m very happy about this bit of news, to brighten my early-afternoon in Greece. It’s funny, I was in Constantinople (er, Istanbul) the last time the supreme court upheld Obamacare… so now I will always associate it with summer holidays.
Speaking of Greece, OT, but very interesting negotiations going on in Brussels today. I hope the Greeks stick to their red-lines and tell the austerity-pushers (or as K-thug calls them, the “pain caucus”) to stick it where it fits. I don’t know if my boat to the islands will be running next week (strikes threatened), but it is very good to see the Greeks having an actually representative government (for the first time ever?) which is not in the pocket of the “money people”.

Wow. According to CNN, the domestic terrorist in Charleston had wanted an AR-15 assault rifle instead of the .45 handgun he used in his terrorist attack. The cops say he already had several 40-round mags for an AR-15 plus another accessory.
According to the article, the only thing that prevented him from getting the AR-15 was lack of funds — certainly not gun laws. If he’d have managed to acquire an AR-15, he would almost certainly would have selected a venue where he could murder even more innocent people or maybe shot up the church on a Sunday.

Thomas just tediously parses the Constitution word-by-word as (he thinks) it meant in 1789, which usually leads to a partisan result but occasionally ends up somewhere weird like finding the drug laws are unconstitutional in his Raich dissent. (I don’t agree with any of his reasoning but I think people don’t give Thomas enough credit. He doesn’t just echo Scalia, as Raich shows, and he doesn’t pay attention to oral arguments because he knows how he’s going to rule by the end of the first page of the petition and there’s not a damned thing that can change his mind.)

However it pales in comparison to the large-scale corruption and wholesale money-pocketing by the elite that went on for decades under the socialists, which is where the bulk of the crisis owes it’s genesis. The specific problem you mention (tax-dodging, as well as bribing) go back to the fact that the Greeks existed for centuries under various systems of rule not of their own making, where the state was quite literally the enemy (the turks, the ottomans, the british… etc). This “poisoned the well” so to speak, for faith in government, and is a lasting cultural problem. It’s in fact a very scary thing for me to witness as an American because it creates this sucking, disfunctional society where change is difficult — and I see the hard-right in America leading us down that exact path…

Shaw-skank had closet sex with killer at least 100 times: ex-inmate
June 24, 2015 | 2:00am
Prison worker Joyce “Tillie” Mitchell had sex at least 100 times in a sewing-shop storage closet with one of the convicted killers she helped spring, a former inmate told The Post — hours after her clueless husband insisted she never could have bedded the escaped criminals.
Mitchell spent her jailhouse days giggling, chatting and showering gifts on convicted cop-killer David Sweat in the Clinton Correctional Facility workplace she was supposed to be supervising, said the former prisoner, Erik Jensen.
She would routinely end her shift by disappearing into the 8-foot-by-15-foot stockroom with the 35-year-old Sweat for at least a half-hour at a time, said Jensen.
