The passing scene is hilarious, until it careens through the front yard and crashes into my living room.

David Bentley Hart's real offense was implying he prefers to be trapped in airports where he has to listen to CNN
But calling AOC clever and desirable and European socialism wonderful has everyone's attention.
Come on, people, focus.

Alexandria the Great complains of "dark money" in politics but has plenty of her own
Tom Anderson, director of the National Legal and Policy Center's Government Integrity Project, said: "It appears Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her associates ran an off-the-books operation to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, thus violating the foundation of all campaign finance laws: transparency." ...
Adav Noti, the senior director of the Campaign Legal Center and a former FEC lawyer, said the arrangement was highly unusual and seemed intended to obscure the destination of the funds. "None of that makes any sense," said Noti. "I can't even begin to disentangle that. They're either confused or they're trying to conceal something." ... "It does seem like there's something amiss. I can only think of really two likely possibilities for this sort of pattern of disbursements," said Noti. "One is the scam PAC possibility — they're really just paying themselves and they’re concealing it by using the LLC. The other is that there’s actually another recipient, that the money is going to the LLC and then being disbursed in some other way that they want to conceal."

Alexandria The Great's got a little ethics problem
The Congresswoman Loves the Swamp: Her Wealthy Chief of Staff used a PAC to Pay Her Boyfriend (updated)
Here’s
what hasn’t changed: Saikat’s PAC paid AOC’s boyfriend six grand
bookending a six grand payment from AOC’s campaign to Saikat’s LLC. AOC
then made Saikat her Chief. Whether he paid Riley as an under the table
reimbursement for her campaign, or simply because he wanted to throw
some money at one of his candidates is actually immaterial. And you
can’t tell me that money sent to Roberts isn’t money sent to AOC. They
were living together and, as we’ve been told a thousand times, he’s a
spouse…even though they’re not married and she doesn’t disclose his
income as a spouse on her mandatory congressional disclosure forms.
As
for the congresswoman herself, she seems committed to distracting from
the fact that she engaged in swampy campaign finance chicanery.
Alexandria The Great's connection to her NY-14 congressional district is tenuous
Where in the world does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez live?:
She may be America’s most famous freshman congresswoman, but in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost. She has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the state’s three other freshman members. And
it’s unclear whether the 29-year-old lawmaker, who represents the Bronx
and Queens, actually still lives in the Parkchester neighborhood that
has been so closely tied to her rise — even though she won her upset
victory over fellow Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley with accusations that his
home in Virginia made him too Washington-focused to serve his district. Ocasio-Cortez has used her deceased father’s Bronx condo on her voter registration since 2012 . . ..
Her apartment’s next-door neighbor said she had never seen
Ocasio-Cortez. Another neighbor, who has lived down the hall from the
congresswoman’s apartment for the last 40 years, said he’d never seen
her or her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, who has claimed the address as his
own since last spring. “I would have remembered,” said the neighbor when shown a photograph of Ocasio-Cortez. Workers
at Jerry’s Pizzeria, less than a block from her building, and at the
local grocery store said she had never patronized their businesses — and
a server at a nearby taqueria said the congresswoman had only come in
to be filmed by news crews.
