Several queerly odd headlines today. Couldn't decide which to choose. Any seem important to you? Which/why?

"Trump Administration is said to open a broad inquiry into China's trade practices."  Why now?  

"White House reviewed Fox New story about Seth Rich before publication".               What next?

"Tillerson spurns $80 million to counter ISIS/Russian Propaganda".                           SAY WHAT?

    The Scaramucci  story.

    Oliver really hit his stride when he began his discussion of the New Yorker interview, though. While I've often said that Oliver has a way of encapsulating news stories the way that no one else in the media can, in this case he literally did use the word that no one else in the media was willing to say: "cock."

    "Scaramucci said, 'I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not going to suck my own cock.'

    That's what Scaramucci said, to a reporter, on the record," Oliver said. "There's just no point in anyone being coy about this anymore." And then just the drill in the point, Oliver's "Now This" segment following the opener showed a compilation of newscasters doing exactly that — trying to be coy about quoting the White House communications director.

    The country has only just seen the beginning of Scaramucci, or, as Oliver called him, "a communications director who answers the question of, 'what if a tanning bed were a person?'" And as this administration rambles on, you can be ever more thankful that you have Oliver to put things in a way that you're just not going to hear anywhere else.
