Getting Mawkish About The Worst People.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Sideshow Mystery.

The finest epitaph I have read regarding Scott Adams, the second worst man to ever appear on beloved 90s cult sitcom Newsradio, ran that by dying at the age of  68, he had followed a lifelong tradition of almost but not quite being funny. Savage, but exactly what he deserved. 

As we watch Muir memorialize the man with exactly the sort of awful politics Adams had dabbled in by the end, a part of me suspects that this is Muir--who remember is about the same age as Adams was--feeling his own mortality. Something he feels obligated to lead into with more of his nativist swill.
