Who would have thought the red hot war of words between Kim Jong-un and the Donald could be wiped right off the cable gab-a-thons in just one weekend. But the Charlottesville riots did exactly that, thereby delivering still another cautionary tale about the unhinged times now upon us. So we will say it again. The boys and girls buying the dip again this morning are out of their ever-lovin’ minds because this weekend did not really bring a respite from the Korean crisis.
