3. More and more prominent Republicans are asking their party the Frank Zappa/Suzy Creamcheese question

I.e. "what's got into ya?"

Unfortunately their rank and file keeps answering, "I don't know and I don't care."

8. Ha! And journalist George Seldes called Mussolini a "Sawdust Caesar."

I have the book.

10. Apparently Mussolini put a hit out on Seldes because of his reporting

but Seldes skedaddled out of Italy before getting killed.

Seldes' Witness to a Century is a tremendously interesting book about the personalities he met and interviewed over decades.

12. Mussolini understood the power of the press as HE

was a journalist in a prior incantation of his life. Obviously he understood good and persuasive journalism in Seldes.

11. That will leave a mark

Schmidt knows what rattles him
