A frightening story tonight on the Rachel Maddow show. The Voice of America has apparently been gutted by Trump this week. His political appointee, conservative film maker Michael Pack (an associate of Steve Bannon) was confirmed by the senate on June 4th of this year and within days had fired the heads of the various outlets and their board members. It appears the Director and her Deputy chose to resign upon seeing the writing on the wall. It is feared that the VOA will now become a Trump propaganda machine.

A personal political credo

"It is possible to be committed and serious without being dour and dogmatic. We are all inconsequential specks in an absurdly vast universe. Our very existence is cosmically laughable, and amusement is an essential coping mechanism. I am much more inclined to trust leaders and fellow adherents who laugh – especially at themselves."
