Because the $4,900 fine would cripple MTV.

For our younger readers: Previous to its most recent incarnation, a high-tech freak show played at high volume, Music Television (as we used to call it) once played music videos.

Recently, France has escalated its ongoing assault on religious displays and symbols, most recently manifested in the official denunciation of the burqa worn by some muslim women.  The French government is winning the war of forced secularization, outward signs of religion–the crucifix, turbans, the burqa and more–are quickly becoming anathema in French culture.

From Hillbuzz–What Happened To People Who Backstab The Clintons

Call it the Clinton Curse: A creepily fun piece from Hillbuzz.  The Michelle Obama paragraph was unnecessary, and from everything I’ve heard, Tim Russert was apparently a thoroughly decent gentleman, but I found much of the rest (including the riff on Dame Edwards; I recently read Game Change, and if you believe the authors’ allegations–as I do–Elizabeth Edwards is not a nice lady) to, if not spot-on (I lack Hillbuzz’ confidence that a Pelosi-takedown is coming any time soon), definitely funny.

Since the days of the Clinton Administration, I’d mostly regarded Hillary Clinton as something of a political automaton; a beltway shark forced to remain in constant motion to maintain her alpha-predator status.  After reading Game Change I won’t go so far as to say I’ve been disabused entirely of this long-held impression, but find it easier these days to view the Senator in a more nuanced light. 

Moreover, as several sources have indicated, Clinton’s friends and allies in the Democratic party served her poorly in the 2008 campaign, swarming her like piranha on a sick water buffalo.  It’s nice to see some comeuppance, even if as Hillbuzz points out, it’s all coincidence.

America loves a second–or even a third act.  Even Hillary-Haters are waiting to see how the New York Senator uses hers.  Personally, I’m holding out for the paroxysm of political violence and mayhem that, were it a film, we’d call Hillary III: The Bloodening.
