Courtesy of Joe Kuhn Joe Kuhn, who was a Marine, recounts his encounter with an arsonist: He was very focused. That s what worried me about him. I t was like a bomb had gone off. When Joe Kuhn returned to what remained of the Spokane County Democrats offices in the Teamsters Building last Thursday, he was shocked by the sheer amount of damage. Flames had peeled paint off the doors. Ceiling tiles had collapsed. The copy machine had melted from the intensity of the heat. It was destroyed. The whole inside was gutted, says Kuhn, a 56-year-old Teamster. This guy clearly intended to burn the whole building down. He wasn t just trying to torch the office.
comments Home shopping networks exist beyond the critic s purview. They just sort of do what they do with low production value, living or dying on the charms of their hosts. Plus, it s widely understood that despite announcers assurances that what they re selling is solid and true, the real deal, much of what they re hawking is of questionable quality. Absorbing hour after hour of Newsmax made me contemplate the great American appeal of home shopping consumerism and its strong attraction to the emotionally vulnerable, people seeking out that unknown item to fill some gap in their life they cannot name. Newsmax mimics that approach, only instead of dealing in sleeved blankets and cut-rate gemstones, it sells concentrated alarmism and far-right extremist fantasy.
