Amazing. He's the one who deserved a film acting career after Star Wars, but I guess lingering in voice acting was worth it if it brought us this.

He's said that he's actually preferred voice acting, so I wouldn't call it "lingering". He's got Luke Skywalker and the Joker, so he'll have fame for a long time.

I hate this loving disaster.

quote:

Spicer cast the possible relocation of the press corps as a matter, in part, of logistics. "There's been so much interest in covering a President Donald Trump," he said. "A question is: Is a room that has forty-nine seats adequate? When we had that press conference the other day, we had thousands of requests, and we capped it at four hundred. Is there an opportunity to potentially allow more members of the media to be part of this? That's something we're discussing."

You got to admit that this is a brilliant approach to spin getting rid of the media. My marketing heart applauds.

"The White House conference room isn't big enough for all the media representatives to fit in, so we're moving it to the much biglier White House Conference Center near Lafayette Square. You see, Trump wants to give the smaller outlets an opportunity to get first hand coverage. We're moving the representation away from just elitist coverage, to a more down-to-earth profile that represents the average American. Trump loves the media."

:downs:


Of course, you can always count on the Trump team to stray off-message so loving hard and say what they're actually thinking:

"They are the opposition party," a senior official says. "I want 'em out of the building. We are taking back the press room."

Haven't the White House press facilities been over capacity for a while now though? I remember there was a sub plot in the West Wing about moving the press room next door or something.

But of course this is Trump we're talking about so I shouldn't assume the best. The optics are terrible either way.

The media ban thing is bad, don't get me wrong, but during the W era, they were renovating the press room for a year and held all of the briefings in that conference center thing that they're supposedly exiling the press to. At least W's team came up with a plausible reason.

Meanwhile, SNL's cold open was the Trump press conference. Predictably, it was all about Peepot Dome.

Snow Crash is so different from Stephenson's other works I swear that it's ghostwritten by someone else.
Cryptonomicon has one good scene (family inheritance disputes settled by cartesian coordinates) in a sea of stupidity.

Reamde is very bad airport fiction, with highlights/lowlights of castration via a broken Love Actually DVD and man-eating deus ex cougars who love the sound of gunfire.
The main characters are directly responsible for 98.23888888% of the deaths in the book.


Slightly on topic, running across Biden mentions in old Hunter S Thompson articles is always funny in comparison to how Biden is presented now.

quote:

“Obama has laid all the groundwork Trump needs for an unprecedented crackdown on the press,” said Trevor Timm, executive director of the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation.

Dana Priest, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Washington Post, added: “Obama’s attorney general repeatedly allowed the F.B.I. to use intrusive measures against reporters more often than any time in recent memory. The moral obstacles have been cleared for Trump’s attorney general to go even further, to forget that it’s a free press that has distinguished us from other countries, and to try to silence dissent by silencing an institution whose job is to give voice to dissent.”

someone tell Dana Priest that Trump doesn't have moral obstacles
