Meanwhile on the other side of the Lincoln Memorial the algae blooms. They can't fool me. That's not some drainage pipe issue. That's athlete's foot from the UFC locker room. That sacrilegious honors parade was a bad idea. [Politico, sorry]

| The Vampire Lestat |
I've got a need! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 14!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Vampire Lestat (AMC+, 3 a.m. / AMC, 9 p.m.). This is the third season of the enjoyable Interview with the Vampire (or first season if you ask AMC). It is a reset but still working its way through Anne Rice's source material -- the second of the Vampire Chronicles series, which still has 11 books following. Lestat is now a rockstar. And he will... suck you? Happy Pride!
Elsewhere, vampire chasing requires Patience, Grantchester is coming to the finish line, 1925 is the Way Home, rice Built America, and the People's House hosts fights.

I was tempted to post this photo last night for my dad but I decided to honor the later, stranger days and be nice but today I have a different context. I'm cutting out early and I haven't heard from Walter Reed yet.
Welcome to the Weekend in Pop Culture! Let's examine what's coming out in theaters this weekend.
Disclosure Day
Aliens exist? Maybe?
Stop! That! Train!
A parody of disaster films set on a train. It can't be as bad as "Scary Movie" looked, right? Right?
What have you been watching?

Politics is mourning for so many things. We could start with the state of the union and work our way out to the state of the world and even the state of the universe. But I'm looking inward today. The biggest personal enemy I ever had died today. He actually died decades ago but he didn't notice. He became a different person. I still fought him for a long time because he still looked like my dad. It took a very long time for me to acknowledge that he was not the same person. When you have been at war longer than you can remember if is difficult to stop. If you can't catch the political analogy then I don't know what to tell you.
