This is not a diary, since I don’t have much right now that I think needs to be added to a tweet storm posted by David Rothkopf on what he terms “Asshole Culture.” I wanted to bring attention to it here because I think it’s a typology that helps explain what we’re seeing in today’s politics (and much more), but also because I know that not all here are fans of the Twitter and so some might miss this insightful theory by a prominent political scientist. I could have posted it here not using the tweet format, but I wanted to leave it in the form of tweets so that you might easily find the individual tweets on Twitter, should you feel inclined to “like” or comment on them. Enjoy!

Thanks for the recs, folks, although I’m fully cognizant that they’re for Rothkopf, not for my meager contribution. I thought he smacked the nail right on the head. Glad to see I’m not alone. Sorry I can’t contribute more today. At work, on break.
