Thursday Night Trivia Gets A Name

From James Lileks and his screedblog (the June 6th entry) no less:

This stuff isn't intended to persuade, as he notes; it's meant to apply soothing warm Preconception Firming Gel to the buttocks of the audience, so they can clench them with righteous fury 24-7. "Republican fascism." But of course. Shepard and his wife used to live in Minnesota. I wondered why I never saw him at the Torchlight Parades or Putsch Night down at Keegan's. That's the odd thing about Kristallnacht -- you're so caught up on the burning and the kicking and the smashing that you don't notice who isn't there. At the time, anyway.
