Hillary Gump?
(Steven Hayward) This Hillary-as-Forrest-Gump video, made for the 1995 Gridiron dinner in Washington, is so gobsmackingly awful that we just have to share it. It's Hillary at her "I ain't no wise tahrred" worst. But as Ed Driscoll (H/T by the way) points out, once you watch it, it can't be unseen, so I recommend strong drink before, during, and after viewing:

Nancy Reagan, RIP
(Steven Hayward) News out in the last hour that Nancy Reagan has passed away at 94. I don't have much to add beyond the obvious—that she was a significant influence on her husband's career and course once in office, though I also think her influence was distorted or overstated in some ways. I didn't write about her much in my two Reagan books in part because I became convinced that the most

Dealing With Devils
"In communities scarred by violence, many don't know what peace looks like. Teenagers in Brazilian favelas, Jamaican garrisons, and Honduran slums see these crime wars as a natural state of affairs. It's normal to have men on the corner with Kalashnikovs, shots ringing out at night, corpses hanging from bridges.''
Ioan Grillo's new book shines a torch on the darker side of Latin America and the Caribbean—specifically, on the grotesque institutional violence used by criminal gangs. Grillo begins his journey in the slum cities of Rio de Janeiro. This is dangerous work. In 2001, a Brazilian investigative journalist attracted the ire of a gang and was subjected to a street trial.
