Paul Krugman: The New Economy and the Trump Rump (NY Times)
Why we went from regional divide to political chasm.
Greg Sargent: Memo to Democrats: Don't wring your hands about investigating Trump (Washington Post)
If Democrats focus their oversight authority on serious abuses of power, governing fiascoes and corruption - and stick to where the facts lead - they'll be, yes, investigating Trump, while also standing for a restoration of transparency, accountability, legitimate governance and the rule of law. There's no need to allow this to get hyped into a false choice or a cause for hand-wringing, Democrats.
Greg Sargent: Why did Trump's lies fail so badly? Important new data provides a clue. (Washington Post)
"The ones that flipped are relatively high-productivity, high-income and well-educated places with a higher proportion of their employment in information-oriented professional and digital services," [Mark] Muro[, the Brookings senior fellow who conducted this analysis,] told me. "They are far better educated and more tied to the global economy." By contrast, Muro added, the GOP districts "have much less professional or digital employment, and are less educated and more oriented towards traditional pursuits like manufacturing."
Mark Hill: 5 Shocking Stories Amazon Doesn't Want You To Know (Cracked)
Everybody uses Amazon, even if nobody wants to have them in their backyard. Kind of like condoms. Also like condoms: Amazon is not always 100 percent effective. Of course, the ability to stream TV in your bathtub while ensuring that chocolate bars and video games will appear at your door the following morning has changed the world, but these improvements come with a dark side that should make you feel at least a little guilty for ordering rush shipping for that Voltron body pillow.

Anecdotes
• United States painter and teacher William M. Chase knew art. A Congressman who did not know art went around telling people about a bad painting that he owned, "Isn't that grand? A great bargain, too. Got it for four hundred dollars, and William M. Chase says it is worth ten thousand dollars." A friend of the painter heard what the Congressman had said, and the friend asked Mr. Chase about it. Mr. Chase explained, "He cornered me one day and wanted me to fix a value on it, but I told him I couldn't do it. He then came at me with a question I couldn't dodge: 'Well, Mr. Chase, how much would you charge to paint a picture like that?' I assured him most honestly that I wouldn't paint one like it for ten thousand dollars."
• People sin, but they can repent. For example, someone stole a hammer decades ago from Central Contractors Supply Co. in western Pennsylvania. Eventually, the thief repented and sent an envelope containing money and a note to the owners -the Gramling family - of the supply store. The note stated that the writer had stolen a hammer from the family-owned supply store 25 or 30 years ago. The note also stated, "I knew it was wrong, but I did it anyway. Enclosed is $45 to cover the hammer plus a little extra for interest. I'm sorry I stole it, but have changed my ways." Lots of things have been stolen from the store over the decades, said co-owner Lynne Gramling, but this was the first time that a thief paid for what was stolen. She took the money to her father, also a co-owner of the store. He was ringing a bell for the Salvation Army, and she put the money in his kettle. She said that the money was "really a lot more than a hammer would cost. He was very generous."
• Garry Trudeau became an adult in the 1960s. He says, "It was the cauldron, the late 60s, when I began to think as an adult. All hell was taking place, the Black Panthers were on trial, students were shot in the Kent State protests, war was waging on the other side of the globe, it was very hard not to be swept up in all of that." He made his comic strip, Doonesbury, topical. In order to write about very current events, he kept pushing his deadlines back, thus making many printers, who were paid overtime for their work on his comic strip, happy. Supposedly, one printer made so much money by working overtime because of Trudeau that he bought a yacht and named it Doonesbury.
• The operating room is a serious place, but funny things happen even there. One surgeon kept complaining that the air conditioning in the operating room was too strong. When he finished the operation, he turned to walk away, and fell - he had not realized that shortly after he had begun the operation his pants had fallen down. And one patient needed an operation after a bullet had hit some coins in his pocket, embedding pieces of money in his body. The patient looked at the surgeon, who was wearing a surgical mask, and said, "Well, I guess it's only normal to wear a mask when taking someone's money."
• Willie, the son of the great 19th-century actor Joseph Jefferson, once cabled him to send £200 at once. Mr. Jefferson cabled back, "What for?" His son sent back the reply, "For Willie." Mr. Jefferson sent the money.

Parkland Shooting Survivors
2018 International Children's Peace Prize
Four students who survived the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February have received an international peace prize for their activism against gun violence.
David Hogg, Emma González, Jaclyn Corin and Matt Deitsch on Tuesday received the 2018 International Children's Peace Prize in a ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa. Archbishop Desmond Tutu presented the prize, which was founded by youth advocacy organization KidsRights.
"The peaceful campaign to demand safe schools and communities and the eradication of gun violence is reminiscent of other great peace movements in history," Tutu said during the ceremony, according to a release.
The Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School left 17 people dead and ignited a wave of student demonstrations across the country against gun violence. Hogg, González, Corin, Deitsch and other students founded March for Our Lives and emerged as prominent voices in the campaign for stricter gun laws.
"I am in awe of these children, whose powerful message is amplified by their youthful energy and an unshakable belief that children can, no must, improve their own futures," Tutu said. "They are true changemakers who have demonstrated most powerfully that children can move the world."

Man With An Opinion
Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey has brandished Donald Trump "a melanoma", while calling Mitch McConnell "incredibly dangerous" and "a threat to homeland security".
While speaking at a panel at Vulture Fest in Los Angeles (via The Hollywood Reporter), the actor-turned-artist unveiled his latest work, a portrait of Senate Majority Leader McConnell as a turtle ("which unfortunately for him now is not protected," Carrey said), with a blue wave crashing behind him.
"And now he has the nerve to come out a couple of days ago and ask for bipartisanship." He added, "These are not people you can deal with. You cannot be bipartisan with a criminal. A rapist needs to be removed, not negotiated with. These people are raping our system, they're destroying it right in front of us.... This corrupt Republican congress that was.... These people have to be removed from our system because they're bad for us."
"Trump is a melanoma, and anybody that covers for him, including Sarah Sanders, is putting makeup on it. It shows that there's a deeper problem in this country, and that problem is greed."
He also stated his support for Beto O'Rourke as a presidential candidate, with Kamala Harris as vice president. "I think she's fantastic," he said. "I think he's an incredible guy, and I would love to vote in this decade for someone that's not the lesser of the evils."

Feted At MoMA
Martin Scorsese
Many young boys grow up with superheroes adorning their walls. Jonah Hill grew up with a picture of Martin Scorsese on his.
The actor related the poignant anecdote at a star-studded benefit Monday evening at the Museum of Modern Art, honoring the celebrated director both for his contributions to both cinema and to film restoration and preservation.
Also among the speakers at MoMA's annual film benefit, which raises funds to bring great works of film to the museum's collection, were Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, two of the actors most closely associated with Scorsese.
DiCaprio, who's appeared in five Scorsese films including "Shutter Island," ''The Departed," and "The Wolf of Wall Street," also went back to his youth to describe the influence Scorsese, 76, had on him.
De Niro, who's made nine feature films with Scorsese, including classics like "Taxi Driver," ''Raging Bull" and "Goodfellas," spoke of the director's many years of friendship.

Returning With Original Cast
Northern Exposure
Walk through any used DVD shop and odds are your eyes will catch a box set wrapped in what appears to be an orange snowcoat. That would be Northern Exposure, which originally ran on CBS from 1990 to 1995 and starred Rob Morrow as a New York City doctor who's been tasked to work in Alaska.
Needless to say, those sets won't be gathering much dust for long. According to Deadline, CBS is digging back into its catalogue and will revive the series, with co-creators Josh Brand and John Falsey leading the way and Morrow once again headlining the series alongside co-star John Corbett.
The new series will follow Morrow's character as he travels back to Alaska, this time to attend a funeral, which naturally leads to further adventures that has him sticking around once again. And while that sounds incredibly lazy, narratively speaking, we're confident that Brand and Falsey will have fun with the premise.

Voids Mutilation Law
Judge Bernard Friedman
A federal judge in Detroit on Tuesday declared unconstitutional a U.S. law banning female genital mutilation, and also dismissed several charges against two doctors and others in the first U.S. criminal case of its kind.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman said Congress lacked authority under the Commerce Clause to adopt the 1996 law, and that the power to outlaw female genital mutilation, or FGM, belonged to individual states.
"As despicable as this practice may be, it is essentially a criminal assault," Friedman wrote. "FGM is not part of a larger market and it has no demonstrated effect on interstate commerce. The Commerce Clause does not permit Congress to regulate a crime of this nature."
Gina Balaya, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider in Detroit, said that office would review the decision before deciding whether to appeal.
The decision removed the main charges against Jumana Nagarwala, a doctor who performed the procedure on nine girls from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota at another doctor's clinic in the Detroit suburb of Livonia.

Activists Beaten
Amnesty International
Several activists imprisoned in Saudi Arabia since May, including a number of women who campaigned for the right to drive, have been beaten and tortured during interrogation, Amnesty International said Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia has detained at least 10 women and seven men on vague national security allegations related to their human rights work. Those detained include Loujain al-Hathloul, Eman al-Nafjan and Aziza al-Yousef, who had campaigned for the right to drive before the decades-long ban was lifted in June.
Amnesty said that according to three testimonies it obtained, some of the activists were repeatedly tortured by electrocution and flogging, leaving some unable to walk or stand properly. In one instance, an activist was hung from the ceiling. Another testimony said one of the detained women was subjected to sexual harassment by interrogators wearing face masks.
The kingdom is at the center of an international firestorm after the brutal killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who had written critically about Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's crackdown on dissent, including the arrests of the women activists. Khashoggi was killed and then dismembered by Saudi agents in the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.
Some of the imprisoned activists were unable to walk or stand properly, had uncontrolled shaking of the hands and marks on their bodies. One of the activists reportedly attempted to take her own life repeatedly inside the prison, Amnesty said.

Artwork Found In Trash Bin
'Bambi'
The homeless man found a ratty picture of Bambi, the Disney character, in a trash bin and brought it to antique dealer Alexander Archbold to get a few bucks.
The men had made similar transactions before, and Archbold - who owns the Curiosity Inc. store in Edmonton, Canada - is generally quick with his appraisals. But this one was different.
At first Archbold thought he had bought a replica of an animation cel from the 1980s or 1990s. He thought if he removed the broken frame and cleaned it up, the picture might fetch $80 to $100.
He paid the homeless man, Adam Gillian, $20 for it.
But when he it took it out of the frame and flipped it over, Archbold discovered an old certificate of authenticity. Even more surprising: It had a copyright date of 1937. "Bambi" hit theaters in 1942.
