Going Digging Through the Stacks...

...of my very disorganized personal library, I rediscovered my copy of Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine. I suspected as much, and my memory didn't betray me. Chapters 11 and 12 are devoted to what might be called an inquest or autopsy into some of the other root causes of Grazhdanin Putin's rise to political dominance in Moskva.

And from there, I think I'll spend part of the afternoon watching Agents of SHIELD as I catch up on my e-mail.

More on other matters as the day wears on.

Speaking of TV-Watching...

...I changed my mind. Agents of SHIELD can wait an hour or two.

CBC News Network (which really ought to be an over-the-air service) is broadcasting the funerals of the second trio of victims from the murders in Ville de Québec live as I type this.
