Matt Drudge has ample coverage of the Dem Debacle in Philly. Hillary's latest poll numbers are brutal and the leaked DNC emails are not promoting either party unity or public confidence.
But my favorite sentence of the day comes from this story on a shooting outside a nightclub in Fort Myers, Fla.:
Sean, a student at Royal Palm Exceptional School, was shot in the parking lot, and a girl with him was shot in a leg...
Yeah, I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know. [KIDDING! No elephants were harmed during the writing of this blog.]
The coverage of the Fort Myers shooting clearly gave the media some problems. Since it was a nightclub shooting, there was a possible terror connection. On the other hand, Black Lives Matter when they are shot by police officers, but otherwise, ethnically oriented gang-bangers blazing away at each other is normally kept off the front page since no one is coming out in favor of a stronger police effort in our troubled inner cities.
And this shooting looks more like the teen hoods than terror, so Move On.
PEAK CRAZY: This killer in Japan is crazier than ISIS:
Nineteen people have been killed in a knife attack at a residential care centre for the mentally disabled in Japan, local emergency services say.
The attack in Sagamihara happened in the early hours of Tuesday. Another 26 people were injured, 20 seriously.
Local police have arrested a male suspect after he turned himself in.
The man is said to be aged 26, and is a former employee at the the Tsukui Yamayuri Garden facility, 40km (25 miles) south-west of Tokyo.
He is reported to have told police he wanted disabled people to disappear.
Is Cory still talking? PB$ cut away.

I question how accurate it is that Portman only has a small lead on Twitch, who has run a terrible campaign and even some of his labor buds are bailing. He can't talk about his experience as governor because nothing he did was a success.

I liked her okay in a two-part Star Trek: Voyager story she was in. But that was the first time I ever saw her. When I found out what she actually did ("comedian," allegedly) and saw some of her performances in that role, my opinion plummeted quite a bit.
