Try Napoleon, Not Hitler

I just wish the academics who talk about “fascism” day in and day out could expand their alarmist repertoire even a tiny bit, if only to make the discourse less boring. Here’s one suggestion (just to help articulate a view I emphatically do *not* share): a much more interesting…

Was that really a phony French accent? Yes, but, I think only indirectly in that she was mimicking the dapper French-American actor Hervé Villechaize, who played the expository character of Tattoo on the fabulous 70's TV show Fantasy Island. You know his signature line, "de plane, de plane!."

So then, it was lame humor on top of an incredibly vacuous lecture on the scientific method.

But never mind that. Clearly the VP has stepped in la merde on her trip to France, because her performance was so bad that the White House had to send out late night tweets on a weekend to tell "anyone who needs to hear it" that Harris is really kind of a "vital partner" to Joe Biden. The silent part of that tweet reads 'despite what you may have gathered from watching her poor performance and the paltry portfolio of tasks Biden has assigned her.'

Speaking of plans, DC news media is starting to express very deep concern that Harris is not fit to be the Plan B for 2024 after Biden - no matter what he claims now - will not run.

The finger-pointing has begun, and it only gets worse for Harris from here on to 2024.
