Another workweek, another outrage, another Casual Friday. Lileks, Hayward, and Cooke remain (reasonably) laid back in the face of madman theory in action, tariff tranches, deadly predators, and pun-heavy advertisements.

- Sound from this week's open: Sydney Sweeny promoting American Apparel jeans and Donald Trump explains how to escape from alligators.

Hosts:
•Charles C. W. Cooke•James Lileks•Steve Hayward

    The allusion to Jimmy Saville brings up a recollection of one of the most vile people to exist. He was one of the most prolific child sex predators. He was also, and it pains me to say so, a regular communicant in daily Catholic masses. He embodied the word hypocrite. It's a pity that he died before the discovery of his crimes. May he rot in hell.
