Wonderful article on how the whole fucking campaign operated in an echo chamber. They were just like Faux News junkies, clueless about what was going on out in the real world, processing only their own information and "unskewed" poll data. ("Nate Silver? He's with the NY Times! No way are we gonna read that crap!")

It was the Bush administration, all over again. Thank God this clod, surrounded by ex-Dumbya advisors, didn't get elected!

<blockquote>Tomlin released her first comedy album on Polydor Records in 1971, "This Is A Recording," an album of Ernestine's run-ins with customers over the phone.</blockquote>

(I posted my gentle note in case you were a young whippersnapper.) She's a bonafide national treasure, and I never pass up the possibility of raving about her.

ETA: I just learned that she was the first woman to appear solo in a Broadway show.
