UNINDICTUM COCONSPIRATUS MUNDI:

I'm enjoying posting past W&F installments so much, it just might become a regular feature of this blog. Especially when the occasion is appropriately befitting, such as today, the fortieth anniversary of the death of Nazi Reichsjugendführer Baldur von Schirach. Oh, and also that one guy quitting his job. In honor of whom we presented a very special edition of W&F a couple of months ago on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of that same fellow passing over into the realm of legend, where some say a hunched-over figure stalks the backstreets of Yorba Linda, shuffling phlebitically in ridiculously oversized Bermuda shorts, grey death-jowls flopping, alternately croaking out "braaaaaaaaains," "Beeeeeeeebeeeee," and "Chhhhheeeeecccckkkerrsssssss." Your host for these infestivities is historian, author and used-fedora salesman Braxton Hicks. So, whattayasay? Let's kick him around a little more...
