ABC and Disney reminded Sinclair that they can charge Sinclair a preemption fee each time they don't run Kimmel, and can run Kimmel on a different station in that market, and if it's a long-term problem they can cancel affiliations

  1. rumor floating around town a retired local big shot* is going to fund a Charlie Kirk memorial- a statue, maybe- and it will be interesting to see if it actually happens

    *he's a story in himself about how age and fear- and a steady dose of Fox News- can erode one's principles into abject worship of a guy like Donald Trump

    1. Bold prediction: by the time it’s up (if ever it is), people will say: “Who’s that? What’d he do?” And probably not like the answer, which will either be the truth; or a shrug.

  2. Reminds me of what Walt Whitman wrote about John Calhoun's monument being ruined farms and chimneys scattered over the South. Kirks will be shell casings on the floors of shot up schools and churches and night clubs.
