Over in my home town of Little Rock, today was to be the day that they imploded the Broadway Bridge connecting the city to North Little Rock, making way for a new bridge to be completed within six months. However, the Broadway Bridge wasn’t having it.

This FiveThirtyEight chat about the Donald Trump video tape makes a very interesting and valid point. Billy Bush indulged Donald Trump in his “locker room” banter about women for several minutes, going right along with his “grab them by the pussy” comment, validating it by not giving any indication that it was offensive or inappropriate. Then after the conversation, Billy Bush introduced The Donald to an attractive woman and encouraged them to make physical contact on two occasions. The Billy Bushes of the world are the people with the power to prevent sexual assault. Guys, if you are told something like the “grab” comment and react like it’s just a part of normal conversation and don’t take a stand against it, you are part of the problem even if you yourself would never assault.
That’s it for now. Off to the Blind Bear for happy hour.
