Ferguson looters played to the TV cameras and microphones held by reporters Monday as they tore up the town. The TV reporters refused to ridicule the rioters for their crazy and over-the top behavior. The general rule in journalism is, never make fun of an idiot, he may have friends in Congress.

The Missouri riots were covered live by the cable news networks and drew gigantic TV ratings for Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. Whites polled overwhelmingly support the cop and blacks polled overwhelmingly blame the cop. In other news, everyone on Facebook suddenly got a law degree.

Barack Obama said Tuesday he understood the frustration of the Ferguson rioters. This could fix another problem. The big reason so many immigrants come here from Latin America is that the U.S. is such a desirable place to live, and President Obama is working as hard as he can to turn that around.

Mexican drug gangs were reported to be stealing oil from Mexico’s oil pipelines and smuggling the oil across the border into the United States. It’s so easy to smuggle. They just melt the oil down to powder form, then dye the powder white, and then the border guards just wave it through.

Adolf Hitler’s water-color painting of a Bavarian town hall he painted when he was twenty-five years old sold at auction in Germany.
