Mike's Blog Round Up
Happy Friday!
June 8, 2018

From trade wars to possibly real wars, this work week has had it all, and as Pew Research has reported, 70% of Americans have news fatigue. So today, let's take a break from the prznint's 3-card Monte grift and look at Pop Culture.

The Outline reviews Dennis Miller's podcast. Here's a taste: "The content of The Dennis Miller Option exists in a strange purgatory between right-wing provocation and confused-grandpa doddering." And it gets BETTER from there!

You Might Notice A Trend noticed Comrade Stupid's slur of 1812 (Kellyann Conway's Bowling Green Massacre, one wonders?), and gives us a fun and quick bio of a Canadian, beloved by Americans.

Memphis Flyer has a favorite Amendment.

Bonus Track: Dead Wild Roses gets all science-y with a feminist response to the poster for How To Train Your Dragon III. Be sure to read it all the way through. (It jumps to another blog, but it's so worth taking the leap!)
