" (Permanent Musical Accompaniment To The Last Post Of The Week From The Blog&amp;#039;s Second-Favorite Canadian) They are memorializing Dr. King and the March On Washington this weekend down in DC, and I am assuming that most of the mainstream gobshitery will concern how very far we&amp;#039;ve come, and very likely any references to, say, John Roberts&amp;#039;s Day Of Jubilee as a retrograde moment will be shouted down by the titans of Village civility. Outside of Dr. King&amp;#039;s speech, my two favorite moments of the original march remain this one -- Medgar Evers was only two months in the ground at this point -- and the fact that they took John Lewis into a small room under Abe Lincoln&amp;#039;s hindquarters and told him to tone down his speech because it was going to scare the Archbishop of D.C. right off the platform. Jesus, a lot happened between Memorial Day and Thanksgiving of 1963. There&amp;#039;s no question that 1968 was one bad-ass year, but 1963 is right there with it. I have to admit that The Newsroom has really sharpened up since the Operation Genoa plotline took over the narrative, but it strikes me as a serious flaw to make Jerry Dantana -- And, with that name, shouldn&amp;#039;t he really be singing two sets a night at the Sands? -- such an obvious cheat? I thought we&amp;#039;d find out that the ACN gang in its eagerness just got some facts wrong, or that they&amp;#039;d been duped by some misinformation. Having Jerry just blatantly cook the interview, and to do it so clumsily as not to notice that the basketball game in the background won&amp;#039;t track along with his shenanigans, seems to me too easy an out. At the very least, we&amp;#039;ve got some fine glowering out of Angry Jim, so much so that you almost forget that he played the dorky kid in the classic West Wing ep, &amp;quot;20 Hours In America.&amp;quot; (Yeah, I know he won a Tony for that sap-rising in young Germans musical a few years back. Easy on the theater-nerdness, folks.) Can people stop writing stupid, half-racist stuff about Yasiel Puig now, please? He has also been criticized for poor throws from the outfield, base running mistakes and a brazen demeanor.  &amp;quot;Brazen demeanor&amp;quot;? The fk? I mean, The FK? Have I introduced you to Bryce Harper, baseball star and white person? There is no more brazen demeanor in all of baseball.I mean, this is crap right out of 1949. Yeesh. We&amp;#039;ll be back on Monday with what I am sure is some Kumbaya gobshitery. Be well and play nice, ya bastids, or I&amp;#039;m sending McKenzie McHale to your house to run over your trash cans in a clumsy yet endearing manner, for a five-year old. Jeez, Sorkin, get some therapy, will you? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
