West of Zanzibar (1928, dir Tod Browning) is a wildly inappropriate, grotesque, lurid Lon Chaney exploitation flick (all compliments). Magician Phroso follows the man who ruined his life down to Africa and executes a slow, ruthless revenge. Chaney is phenomenal, the entire thing deeply suspect fun.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

I think based on everything we know people are underestimating the possibility that Larry Summers deliberately sabotaged Obama rather than shot down a larger stimulus out of stupidity.
