I’m happy people are interested in the Constitution, but keep in mind that the version that’s a hot seller on Amazon right now is the annotated version that the Malheur occupiers kept in their jackets.

It’s 50% constitutional text, 50% far right Militia end-timer propaganda, and every single sale helps fund the fundamentalist conspiracy at the heart of the movement to appropriate federal land in the West for sale to private extractive concerns.

I’m a very casual sportsball fan, but I think we all know that professional sports leagues are fundamentally self-centered, highly profit-focused, exploitative of both their players and their fans, and generally horribly callow in the face of any sort of controversy.

This was not an easy call, and I’m extremely happy that in the end they made the right one.
