Trifecta

As is the case with these things, Marlon Brando completed the trio of famous people deaths today. He was 80 and didn't cause the homeless crisis or bring supply side voodoo economics to the world. Instead, he made countless important and dramatic movies. And didn't get upstaged by a monkey named Bonzo.

A moment of silence. Or, just watch On the Waterfront again, in memoriam.

Oh, and I hear that the FBI thinks we should be aware of a possible terrorist attack on the fourth of July. If you can discern the difference between it and the other fireworks going off, of course. Why does it strike me as odd that we celebrate our "freedom" by blowing up things, when we seem to be most on edge of things blowing up?

Have an ironic 4th of July!
