Weekend elements

The media has no idea how to deal with Bernie Sanders. The man doesn't posture. They think they have a gotcha question for him by asking how he would break up the big banks. His answer is exactly right: The banks will decide how to do it. You give them a size and they find a way to meet it.

Favorite political story of the week: Bill Clinton explains the 1994 Crime Bill, and Hillary's portrayal of underage "superpredators" to Black Lives Matter activists. It seems the protestors have been defending drug sales and murder.

Go to YouTube and watch clips from Donald Trump's Comedy Central Roast in 2011, then listen to Hillary supporters complain about her being called "unqualified" by her primary opponent. What a fight we're all in for.

FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson is the television event of the year-- a massively entertaining vehicle. And Sarah Paulson, as Attorney Marcia Clark, deserves to be a lock for Best Actress. Sterling K. Brown and Courtney B. Vance were also knockouts as attorneys Darden and Cochran, respectively. (What man working is better than Vance?) Since the show is actually an anthology series, future seasons will be new stories, but I have no idea how they will ever top season one.

Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber is out for the year. I don't have the details, but it's possible he got wedged in a bathtub.

Because he's fat.

Iowa State junior basketball player Monte Morris has decided to continue the volunteer part of his hoops career. The nation's leader in assist-to-turnover ratio his first two years, and a three-year veteran of the NCAA Tournament will return for his senior season.
