Purchasers of “Dr. Strangelove” also bought these.

- I gather that Trump's name came off the Kennedy Center after the courts rejected the ridiculous 11th hour attempt (unhinged brief not signed by career lawyers) to block it, but the work was done behind a tarp to block the cameras. Missed opportunity to sell tickets; might have raised real money. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Seen at MIA in the TSA departures queue, this invitation to 'self-deport' in exchange for a $1000 per person and a free flight. Although I recall reading they don't necessarily deliver. In any case a sour taste for the start of international travel. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- In a strange way you almost could admire the Trumpies' leave-no-stone-unturned approach to graft. There is really no bottom. No limit. And justice is at best slow. June 12, 2026 Michael Froomkin

Yes, and on that note, let us not forget that, in October, Turner Classic Movies had four senators introduce their favorite movies, and the results were as follows:
John Edwards–Dr. Strangelove
John McCain–Paths of Glory
Orrin Hatch–To Kill a Mockingbird
Joe Biden–Dead Poets Society
Obviously, Edwards is the smartest of the bunch, Biden the lamest. Both McCain and Hatch seem to be trying to pretend they are better people than they are by their choice of movies–since, despite their choices, McCain is clearly an obedient soldier and Hatch is clearly a bigoted pig–but at least the movies chosen are vastly superior to “Dead Poets Society.” Has Biden no shame?
Anyhow, I can only now assume that Edwards is also a fan of “America; The Book.” And that’s the kind of person we really need as vice-president–a hopeful, good-natured, reluctant cynic.
