Summary

On today’s Ruminant, an addled and isolated Jonah is haunted by Muppets and their irresistibly catchy songs. He’s also fascinated by the Mark Milley affair, irritated by political figures who disregard the importance of rules, and amused by elites who’ve clearly never read “Radical Chic.” Why are politicians more interested in trolling the opposition than actually doing their jobs? Was the Cigarette Smoking Man really behind the Kennedy assassination? And how many people had to sample poison berries before mankind perfected the art of cooking? Show Notes: - The ultimate tweet - You’re welcome - Wednesday’s Dispatch Podcast - Musings of a cigarette smoking man - Griffin on Milley - Wednesday’s “news”letter - The hidden law - That gala at Anna’s - It’s unputdownable! - Inside Tom Wolfe’s apartment, and more… - The Remnant with Will Saletan on elite overproduction - We already tax the rich - Do CEOs make less than doctors? - Politico annoys Jennifer Rubin Learn more about your ad choices.
